I am working on it.
Comment 2 Scarlett Moore 2023-11-06 16:38:22 UTC
Apologies, I am not working on this. I thought it was something else.
Comment 3 Carlos De Maine 2023-11-06 20:16:59 UTC
boots and installs  for me in virt-manager (libvirt).  maybe a qemu bug??
Comment 4 Emir SARI 2023-11-06 20:18:15 UTC
Other ISOs boot fine. Unstable is the odd one out.
Comment 5 Martin Riethmayer 2023-11-10 10:57:44 UTC
Trying to boot unstable ISO in VirtualBox 6.1.38_Ubuntu r153438:

I get the Neon log with spinning cogwheel, then the error messages "drm:vmw_host_printf [vmwgfx]] ERROR Failed to send host log message." and "[FAILED] Failed to start Migrate UID 1000 from semi-wrong groups to correct ones.."

After that, I'm stuck on a black screen, can't even switch to another VT.
I can get Neon to boot up if I enable 3d Acceleration in the VM settings of VirtualBox (I've also set Graphics memory to 48MB, not sure if this is related. *Only* increasing Graphics memory to 48MB is not enough to make it boot).

I thought it might have to do with Plasma switching to wayland by default?

Same behavior with QEMU using the ISO image: neon-unstable-20231109-1616.iso

In the serial console, the last thing at the boot messages is

         Starting Hold until boot process finishes up...
         Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen...
[FAILED] Failed to start Migrate UI…wrong groups to correct ones..


Not sure if this is related.
Comment 8 Emir SARI 2023-11-25 21:25:33 UTC
This is fixed since.
Comment 9 Martin Riethmayer 2023-11-27 09:57:08 UTC
Can't confirm, "neon-unstable-20231126-1118.iso" still will not boot if 3D acceleration is disabled in VirtualBox.
Comment 10 Nikos Platis 2023-12-05 07:25:31 UTC
I am trying neon-unstable-20231203-1120.iso on VirtualBox 7.0.12 (Arch Linux host). With any combination of display driver / 3D acceleration, it only boots to the console with a login prompt.
The same happens on QEMU.
Comment 11 Carlos De Maine 2023-12-20 07:05:59 UTC
fixed in the latest iso.  please retry.  3d acceleration needs to be activated in virtualbox.
