    Yes, there are 2 files, "card0" and "controlD64".



    I do "sudo modprobe nouveau", hit enter and I instantly get back to the command line, no message, apparently nothing happens.
    What's the root password, maybe I should do it as su rather than sudo?
    Hmm... That all seems good. Sudo is running modprobe as root, and modprobe did'nt throw an error, so su won't make a difference


    If you can't copy the log file to a flash drive with the tty, after starting with the standard boot option, can you try to get a picture of the screen showing the contents of the log file?



    also try
    ps -A ? grep weston

    beware that every 15 seconds the waylandloginmanager tries to restart the loginmanagerdisplay once its down, which causes the tty to change.
    I'll add a maximum attempt in the next iso for the waylandloginmanager, so it displays an error, instead of showing nothing

      I learned how to mount partitions from the command line, so here's the data from /var/log/loginmanagerdisplay.log:

        Thanks.


        That's a bit odd though. It seems Weston is actually running.

        What happens if you try to start it up with the standard boot option, switch to tty1, and then switch to tty8 ?

          What command do I have to run and when? (I'm not sure what you mean).

            When you start up the live CD with the default boot opton, when it's done starting up
            Just press ctrl+alt+F1 wait 1 second, and then press ctrl+alt+F8

            Thanks

              After pressing ctrl+alt+F1 I get the usual login prompt for the tty (at F1), and then after ctrl+alt+F8 I get back to a completely black screen.
              Maybe you need some other .log files?

                I can't think of any log files. Try pressing enter, (or maybe tab tab enter) to try to select the default session in the zenity dialog at that black screen. It could an issue with pixman that the loginmanagerdisplay uses

                  "enter" or "tab tab enter" didn't help.

                    Hm... looks like you might be effected by


                    Try adding the kernel option nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 by pressing tab at the boot menu, appending that string and pressing enter please?

                    If not, it also says something about nouveau-firmware... the problem is I don't know if I can add that to the live CD, because it's in multiverse, and my SourceForge project is GPL v2...

                      nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 didn't help, btw I got asus, not msi.

                      Though, as I mentioned earlier if I pick an option below the default one in the grub menu it works, I wonder why. If you had a nouveau/pc you could workaround this issue, to me it's a matter of choosing an option below the default one and I end up with a 1920x1080 desktop resolution regardless of which resolution I choose at grub menu (I chose 2 options both worked, though the one with 1440xXXX gave a warning).
