Hi, I decided to give a new try on my desktop with 251103 installers.
Quick reminder of my issue, I was trying to install Garda on my desktop with an NVIDIA GPU. Once the live iso booted, I was stuck after the login page, showing only an empty terminal with cursor blinking. This same issue applies to 251103 on my system.
After following @TNE recommendation from the preview post, I added debug:disable_logs = false and got more hint about the issue.

On the live system, I’ve switched to root with su command and chmod 777 /dev/dri/renderD128. Then I ran Hyprland command as garuda user with success. I was able to log in and use the installer.
Garuda is now running smoothly on my system.
Should I open an issue on GitLab, or it is not related to the garuda iso?
Welcome to Hyprland!

Honestly, I don’t know how hyprland works personally. I hope someone here might have more to add, but it might be worth getting in touch with the hyprland developers themselves and provide them with all the logs.
It seems this also still needs to be addressed to get full logs.
