OK, thanks. In case your system allows to connect a video-monitor to the integrated graphics controllerbambuko wrote: Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:03 pm OK, this is what happened:

Video Tweaks: Detected possible Hybrid Graphics
I guess the system would use this device and boot into X.
The video-card detection for Hybrid Graphics was added to the LiveSystem to avoid those laptops with hybrid-graphics would show a black screen. In your case the detection was not optimal, b/c you simply did not connect a video-device to the integrated card but the vcard-detection assumed a hybrid-card. Probably some tweaking within the vcard-detection would help in order not see such a setup as "Hybrid Graphics".
So for now, lessons learned, for anybody with an integrated graphics controller but not a Hybrid Graphics and an addtional graphics card may choose vcard boot option to select the active device.
Turning vcard off by default within the ISO-LiveSystem is not the way forward, as this would create lot of issues with hybrid-card laptops.

@fehlix
I would have thought that vcard=menu would be optimal and safe option covering all the angles, plus very much more informative than black screen with blinking cursor...
Anyway, my personal problem is solved, so the only question for you guys is whether you want/need to do anything about it? for future and other users?
