So, when the black screen appeared, I tried the Ctrl+Alt+F1 combination which  
made ~3/4 of the screen turn to the green/blue background with Trisquel logo,  
while the rest of the screen was distorted. Then, I retried the combination  
(because, although the Trisquel logo was glowing, nothing seemed to be  
happening) which gave me a command prompt that showed some errors on the top,  
but I didn't have time to read them because the desktop loaded shortly  
thereafter.


This doesn't seem normal behaviour, does it?

Any ideas anyone? I had a look at past forum posts, but couldn't seem to find  
any which were exactly relevant to what my issue is.


[Trisquel-users] Trisquel Mini Black Screen

2018-03-20 Thread sophoclestechnologies
I installed Trisquel Mini on a 2GB USB stick using the USB Pen Drive Linux  
software, by following this guide:  
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb. The process completed  
successfully.


I tried the USB on a macOS-running MBP. I rebooted the machine (with the USB  
inserted) and entered the Startup Manager (which allows you to choose startup  
disks). The USB appeared as "EFI boot", and I selected it. The GRUB software  
loaded, and I chose to try Trisquel without installing it. After that, the  
screen went black, and I had to force shutdown the machine, as nothing seemed  
to work (though the computer was actually on).


I tried this process also with a 2GB SD card.

What might the issue be?
