Live DVD does not start from USB drive

Good morning,

Please I need help because I don’t understand where I’m going wrong, the problem is this: the CLD live (KDE flavor) does not start, or rather: the image of the emperor penguin appears and after a few seconds the screen goes black with a flashing cursor in the top left.
The only solution is ctrl+alt+delete to restart. I am on a desktop computer with Windows 11 installed in dual boot with Linux Mint (on two different nvme disks); I prepared the USB stick with Rufus on Windows and redone with Balena Etcher on Linux Mint and the result does not change whether I make the initial settings (time zone, language, etc.) or whether I start the live DVD directly without making settings.
Before preparing the USB stick I checked sha256 and sha512 and they are both regular.
Thank you for your attention

Best Regards

why? symply dd

the CLD live (KDE flavor) does not start:
starts and is able to output daemon startup errors

CLD live

Ctrl-Alt-F1
and then you are root and nothing depends on others

@ NickM and @AlexOmskiy: - I thank you for your kind help, I managed to get what you see in the attached photos, it seems that the system does not find the screen. I made several attempts selecting nVidia, Intel, Vesa and Auto; the last photo refers to the selected Vesa driver, the other I do not remember. Please keep in mind that I am not an expert and that I have spent the last six years in the bush away from computers and technology in general, now I have returned to the civilized world and I want to have Calculate (CLD) back that I had discovered in 2018 and happily installed but in these years I have forgotten everything or almost everything regarding the management.

BestRegards

Edit
I removed one of the two photos I had attached because I noticed that the output was the same

how well is yours working the screens on your Linux Mint?
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
on any pastebin

@AlexOmsky: Ciao! The screen works perfectly on Linux Mint.
I’ll try to send you the Pastebin link with
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Pastebin link here:

[ 6.842] (II) modeset(G1): using drv /dev/dri/card2
[ 6.842] (II) NVIDIA(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section
“Default Screen Section” for depth/fbbpp 24/32

Здесь NVIDIA захватывает Screen.
А такой же лог с CLD live?

Хотя понятно там нет nvidia-drivers. Остаётся только консоль и последующая доустановка nvidia-drivers и настройка всего этого.

Где?
Уж 2-3 года не меньше назад сказали что для них нет места на лайве

@AlexOmskiy: I can’t read Cyrillic and I translated your messages with Google. If I understood correctly the problem is that there are no nVidia drivers and I need to install and configure them, I don’t know how to do it, I should read up. However, as I said, I made several attempts to access by selecting nVidia, Intel, Vesa and “Auto”, the result does not change

i too
I’m not sitting at your computer right now either, I can only guess what’s going on there from the logs.

wiki ?
telegram chat ?

@AlexOmskiy : Еще раз благодарю вас за вашу готовность помочь. Как только я освобожусь, пойду читать вики, может, найду какие-то указания. Я пытаюсь написать вам на русском языке с помощью Google Translate. Вы русский, если я правильно понял, я итальянец, меня зовут Сильвио. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, you really risk destroying both your Windows and Mint. Read more and try understand. try any web translated

@AlexOmskiy Привет, я увидел некоторые из твоих сообщений на своем телефоне и удалил их, потому что думал, что найду их здесь, на форуме, но их там нет. Извините, если я не ответил вам сразу, я был занят последние несколько дней, но я расскажу вам новость: я думал, что, возможно, iso был поврежден, и я скачал и подготовил поддержку USB с новым iso от февраля, но нет, этот тоже не работает. “#root” даже не появляется. Эта история начала меня раздражать, я возьму несколько дней отпуска, если смогу, то начну «прямой эфир» и установлю его. Я сообщу новости здесь, в обсуждении. Я также скажу вам, что я пытался установить Debian, и все прошло хорошо, я просто не понимаю, что не так с Calculate. Даже история с установкой драйверов nVidia во время «живого» эфира кажется мне странной, никогда ничего подобного не видел и не слышал. Еще раз спасибо за ваш любезный интерес.

Sembra che il problema sia in screen. Non viene rilevato su CLD-live e durante il caricamento, Xinit non ha nulla a cui connettersi: la mia versione.

Ciao Silvio. Anch’io non posso sempre rispondere subito. Spesso perché lavoro, a volte perché non sono informato.
Debian è possibile, ma stabile, senza esperimenti.

-Avvio la “trasmissione in diretta” e la installo-
Ho 2-3 ore al giorno, che tipo di trasmissione in diretta? Forse senza di me?!

A proposito, se Debian funziona, puoi testare Calculate in una VM (macchina virtuale). Senza composito.

Bat if your Mint work - whay you wont Debian - Mint support VM too.

Google Translator mistake :smile:
I have been installing Mint because I like Cinnamon and Debian (Siduction to be precise) because I like KDE and as experiment due the problem with CLD

Hello,
for translation… do you know ‘Deepl’ free website?
Furthermore, you could try downloading a previous version of Calculate-CLD or a version of XFCE4 and see if these do start.
Start XFCE4 and leave it on auto it will use a different driver. Nvidia doesn’t work out of the box. For that, you need to create a new kernel with ‘cl-kernel’ first, then install nvidia drivers.
Only then will it work perfectly :wink:
not as simple as with Linux Mint
PS ventoy is also a very good program to copy ISO to a usb stick.exists for Linux and Windows.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

@birdy_356 thanks for your kind concern but something is wrong there, I have been installing CLD in the past (2018) and never got problem like the one Am experiencing at present time; something is wrong in the “Live”, I have been using December 2024 and February 2025; Am not interested to try XFCE, I don’t like it.
I don’t know “Deepl” free website I will go looking for it, thanks.

Best Regards

Dear All, I give up installing CLD because there is something that does not work in the “Live”. I have tried several times and I have not achieved anything, you can see some data in the attached images. The problem occurs only with CLD, I installed Siduction (Debian SID) without difficulty and, listen! listen! I also installed a “cousin” of CLD and also in this case the procedure was quick and perfect (Redcore - Linux, Gentoo based). I would like it if “the father” of CLD saw this note of mine, maybe he could understand where the problem is. I thank once again the people who helped me.
Best Regards

Cari tutti, rinuncio ad installare CLD perché c’è qualcosa che non funziona nella “Live”. Ho provato più volte e non ho ottenuto nulla, potete vedere alcuni dati nelle immagini allegate. Il problema si verifica solo con CLD, ho installato Siduction (Debian SID) senza difficoltà e, udite udite! Ho installato anche un “cugino” di CLD e anche in questo caso la procedura è stata rapida e perfetta (Redcore - Linux, Gentoo based). Vorrei che “il padre” di CLD vedesse questa mia nota, magari potrebbe capire dove sta il problema. Ringrazio ancora una volta le persone che mi hanno aiutato.
Cordiali saluti

Дорогие все, я отказываюсь от установки CLD, потому что в “Live” что-то не работает. Я пробовал несколько раз, но ничего не вышло, вы можете увидеть некоторые данные на прикрепленных изображениях. Проблема возникает только с CLD, я установил Siduction (Debian SID) без проблем и, послушайте! Я также установил “двоюродного брата” CLD, и в этом случае процедура также была быстрой и идеальной (Redcore - Linux, основанный на Gentoo). Я хотел бы, чтобы “отец” CLD увидел эту мою заметку, может быть, он сможет понять, в чем проблема. Я еще раз благодарю людей, которые мне помогли.
С наилучшими пожеланиями
