Debian does not boot from a Live USB.
Debian does not boot from a Live USB.
Hello I created a live USB of Debian. I cannot boot the usb. It takes me to a black screen. I disabled secure boot it still shows the same thing. Some sort of an unusable blank shell prompt. First set of lines I see it says that there are errors. I did this twice on a MAC and once on a PC, reformatted the drive each time. What can I do?

Re: Debian does not boot from a Live USB.
Well I don’t think I can be anymore precise than that. When I boot I see a black screen on any computer I use.
I can’t type anything in it, and I don’t think enabling usb boot would make a difference.

Re: Debian does not boot from a Live USB.
I used Fedora Live usb creator. I did this on Windows. I booted using the USB and several other options that were related to the USB. I believe I had the GNOME version of Debian installed. It boots to a prompt that is a black screen.
Re: Debian does not boot from a Live USB.
If you are on Windows, try rufus https://rufus.ie/ and try both the recommended way and the dd way of flashing the image on the usb stick. For example when I tested Kali Linux and Elementary OS, only dd method would boot.
