-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
Using the LiveCD LXDE image of 20190617 Will not boot to Live Image. Messages flash very quickly that make it difficult to see the actual messages. Adding the "debug" option to the boot command line for the LiveCD boot has no impact on the speed or type of error occurring. The best I can see from several attempts to boot the LiveCD image is some sort of error in the options for booting the LiveCD image. If one chooses any other menu option to boot such as installing Debian there is no error and the image boots to the install or intended menu item of initial boot splash screen to select what one wants. This is actually not strictly a Buster Testing 10.x error. This is fact also occurs more selectively with Debian Stretch 9.9.0 and many prior versions. I will skip the messy details of how I have played the bugs against each other to workaround what is in essence the same bug. Same system has even messier problems trying to boot back to Debian Stretch 9.9.0 of system with LiveCD Buster 10 Testing image. I will skip the messy details as I believe if the real bug(s) are fixed then the collateral damage messy bugs will not occur. A posting to mailing list debian-boot was sent based on the "Debian 10 -- Reporting Problems" web page: <https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/reportingbugs> page the buckets are for install related issues, upgrade issues, and post install issues. This is a LiveCD issue so I am at loss where to report and how later have the fixes cascaded back to Stretch 9.x. I am now trying the Debian-Live list in hopes it is a better choice than what was suggested in the above link. Would be helpful how one can secure the actual error message being flashed on the splash screen so fast it defies even trying to video record with cell phone and clearly cannot take a pic of the messages. As FYI I also tried different combinations of removing the keywords for booting the LiveCD after the initrd keyword. So clearly the initrd, kernel image et al were not touched as part of these attempts. No issues when use LUbuntu Live LXDEQt 19.04, Linux Mint, number of prior LUbuntu LiveCD (15.04s, 16.04s, 18.04s). This suggests there are a number of problems with the Debian LiveCD images that has been ongoing since at least Debian 9 Stretch that is now in Debian Buster 10. John L.
