Greetings, I would like to report a bug (no, it has nothing to do with A.I.), but I am not sure which, if any, package it affects.
I retrofit aging computers for various businesses so that they can get more life from them, but also do new installs on new hardware. This usually means installing (stable) Debian KDE or Debian XFCE from a live image. Since Trixie came out, I am unable to use any live images from a USB flash drive to boot or install Debian Trixie. Both KDE and XFCE will display the boot menu, get several steps into the installation process and then kick off an "unable to detect installation medium" within the installer. I have tried all the usual suspects: different flash drive, different Debian version (13.1, 13.2, etc), re-download the iso, verify the checksum, different computer, disable secure boot, CSM on/off. All to no avail. However, if I use the exact same ISO image written onto a CD, it works perfectly. Another oddity is that the only time a Debian Trixie live image has worked for me was on a very old Lenovo desktop that had a UEFI firmware lock such that it would only let windows boot on it. Today, I attempted to install Debian Trixie KDE onto an Intel Mac and the drive did not appear in the UEFI boot menu at all. Debian Bookworm, however, worked perfectly. My best guess is that something changed between how Debian Trixie live images and Bookworm live images interact with the UEFI, but I do not know which package that would be, or why the installer would be unable to detect the drive from which itself was booting. Thank you for any guidance on this matter. Olybrewfest
