Asking for password in live boot

Hello!

I've been using Garuda Dragonized for a while now, and decided to switch to Qtile today. I downloaded the ISO, flashed it with Etcher, and live booted it. For some reason, though, the live boot is asking me for a password. So far, I've tried garuda, test and qtile, and none of them have worked. And yes, I did try to search for this. I hope anyone hasn't really asked it yet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.
According to the instructions and at a quick check on the gitlab it should be:

################# livecd #################

# unset defaults to given value
hostname="garuda-qtile"

# unset defaults to given value
username="garuda"

# unset defaults to given value
password="garuda"

:astonished:

Used this for anything Qtile as well

As I said, using garuda (no caps) as a password doesn't work for some reason. Could my install be botched? I'll try garuda again, though, ty :frowning:

Try logging in at TTY with garuda/garuda :eyes:

Sorry, a stupid question, but I have to do it...
Are you sure it is the login of the ISO USB and not the one of your current Dr460nized installation (because the USB has not been detected)?

Nope. It even says Qtile at the side. I tried garuda, didn't work.

How do you login at TTY?

At the grub menu press e instead of enter in the line you want to use.
Then go to the end of the line starting with linux and add a 3
Then F10 or ctrl+x to boot

At radeon.modeset?

Add a space and 3 at the end of whatever is on that line (could be radeon.modeset=1 so becoming radeon.modeset=1 3)

Yep, it allows me too boot into TTY, but not GUI, for some reason. If I can, how can I install garuda from TTY?

Enter startx
