The subject machine has an UEFI bios, and cannot seem to boot either Trisquel 7 or 8 from USB. Attempts to boot the live image result in a black screen. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, and Void live images boot fine. Is Trisquel not meant to be bootable with UEFI?

Hi Dave ;-)
Didn't you try with Uruk 2 Alpha recently ?

This comment from Loldier however seems to confirm what you are experiencing, ie
I can confirm that the Trisquel iso image, while written successfully, won't boot. The resulting usb stick is not bootable, at least in a UEFI environment.I tried Debian 9.01 Mate. It works as expected with the same dd command on the same usb device

I cannot get the Trisquel image, published in June, to boot on anything. For yesterday's post, I was ufing the image made in April, which does boot on machines that do not have UEFI. In my testing of Uruk 2 Alpha, I find that Orca screen reader will not work; I hear the welcome message but orca will not read the screen, and it turns off within about 30 seconds. I wrote about this on the Uruk mailing list, but have not yet heard an answer.

Oh..well looks like you are not the only one, maybe the mailing list is not functionning well

That means though that the Uruk kernel Linux-Libre 4.8 boots with UEFI

Dave did you try Legacy Mode & activating CSM ?

Mangy Dog: I didn't try Uruk on UEFI. I haven't tried legacy or csm; can't do it, eyes-free. Or, maybe I can, using a live medium that will boot?

UEFI is Bios firmware that prevents people from installing Freedom :-( ..or gives them a hard time..

One has to disable certain parametres in the BIOS like disabling secure boot. You might also need to disable "fast startup" inside win 8/10 $
