Yes, it was also a big surprise for me. I have reinstalled Debian two or three times during the last weekend using the installer in the Debian 12.7 KDE live CD and every time I got the 20 seconds delay at KDE login. Reinstalled again from Debian 12.7 Netinst (thanks to an advice from a friend) and everything worked just fine at the first try. My friend also noticed differences between both installers, that is the reason he recommended me to try the netinstall method once I say I used the live CD. And he was right. Indeed both installations are different. For example, using the live CD installer results in a "sudo installation" with no root account and the regular user in sudo group, but the netinst installer configures and sets up a proper root account and does not add the regular user to the sudo group. As I said, there are subtle differences between them, and probably the installed packages and initial configuration files are also different. Bye!
