Login screen failed

Last Updated on: 20th September 2023, 12:24 am

Reported issue: the login screen (lightdm) doesn’t start after the first boot from a hard drive, after installing Sparky.

Possible reason: plymouth

To temporary handle with that, edit kernel starts options via GRUB.
Press ‘e’ key to edit it.

GRUB

Go to the end of the line started with “linux” and delete ‘quiet splash’ options.

GRUB

Than press “F10” key to boot.

It happens on some machines/some hardware.

Make sure that Sparky is based and fully compatible with Debian ‘testing’, so situations like that sometimes happen.

If you looking for a rock stable operating system – choose Debian ‘stable’.
