Good day,
I am trying same download.. 20110212
It refuses to get past auto login..flashing in endless loop.
Please. Is there some key strokes that I can do to get past this flashing or whatever?
What I did was to use ctrl-alt-F2 to get a text console and then su - to become root - then did telinit 3 which seemed not to work (maybe systemd related or my ignorance!)
Then did ctrl-alt-F4 and entered startx - this immediately gave me a graphical login - and into gnome shell as the liveuser.
I am sure this will be fixed within a day or two - and if you can't get it to work a new live iso will be built within a day or two.
Try this: while in tty-2, remove or rename /etc/gdm/custom.conf and reboot.
You don't need to reboot (and indeed doing so is no use on a live image). Just remove it and then do 'systemctl stop prefdm.service' then 'systemctl start prefdm.service' and switch to wherever gdm now shows up (probably VT7). That should be enough.
