Title: fails to start Xvesa, live coreplus17.0 via Ventoy, grub, BIOS desktop
Post by: galen on May 20, 2026, 11:27:10 AM

downloaded a good copy of coreplus17
placed it on USB2 stick booting via Ventoy.
rebooted, selected Core
boot menu shows,
any selection fails to load Xvesa.

video:
GeForce 8400GS/PCIe/SSE2
cable VGA

did mange to get some info via loglevel=7
and boot up it does create .xsessions

where do I look next?

Execute the first line of ~/.xsession in a terminal window to see if it gives an error message.
