Stuck on “Reached Target Graphical Interface” in Live Environment

Issues & Assistance
1

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.70 GHz
B450 Tomahawk
16GB RAM @ 3200
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

I tried to get the output from the ‘garuda-inxi’ command, but I couldn’t figure out how to output it to a file on the Live USB I was using. If someone can give me some guidance there, I will happily provide it.

Relatively new to Garuda Linux, managed to get it installed fine with the GNOME variant on my laptop, but having some trouble getting any variant installed on my desktop. I am trying to mostly install the following ISOs as a dual-boot setup with Windows 11:

garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-230501.iso (prefer this one)
garuda-gnome-linux-zen-230501.iso

I’ve setup a partition on a drive separate from the one with the Windows install that I plan to install Garuda to.

Whether I do normal or grub2 mode, open source or proprietor drivers, with both the GNOME or KDE isos, I keep getting stuck at “Reached Target Graphical Interface” and cannot proceed past that point. Initially I tried making the drive with Rufus, now with Ventroy, made sure SecureBoot is off and BIOS is in CFS mode, no option for Fast Boot to be found.

In the linked thread below I saw a user having a similar issue had to resort to a LTS build of the dr460nized ISO, but the link is dead now, so I was curious if someone knew where I might be able to pull a new version of that to try?

To provide your inxi from the live iso:

I believe you would have to wait for a dev to build it again for you.

Awesome, thank you for the link to that post with the command needed to upload the output to termbin; I will run that this evening after work, and post the URL to this thread as soon as I can.

Okay, here is the output from my garuda-inxi command:

“New” GPU ?
Need other kernel, lts?

6

Not exactly new, have been using it for a few months now with W11 successfully, but trying to give a few distros of Linux a try now for the first time since I got it. I'd like to try a lts build if I can, but open to any suggestions at this point.

7

I try to upload the KDE dr460nized lts version to the Cloud.

IDK how long it needs and work, just a try.

Thank you for the update and the provided LTS build, I appreciate the help. I downloaded this and gave it a shot, and there is progress, but now it is stalling at "Finished Live Media Keyring Setup" in both normal and grub2 mode, with open source and proprietary Nvidia drivers.

I pulled a new garuda-inxi log:
