Live USB not able to launch live enviroment.
Hello,
I wanted to try Trisquel so I set up a live USB and attempted to test it out but every time I try to go into the live environment from the USB it simply displays a black screen with a couple colored lines, I attached an image of what it looks like. I know its not the computer or the USB, as I've used other distros with that USB on this laptop before. The ISO was torrented and is the latest version, does anyone know what could've caused this error?

When does that happen? Right after selecting "Try Trisquel without installing"? No text message in between? What video card do you use? Can you use the graphical chipset of your processor instead? Have you tried with the soon-to-be-released Trisquel 11 ISO? Here it is: http://cdbuilds.trisquel.org/aramo/
Yes directy after the "Try Trisquel without installing" with no message in between. I use a 1660ti, and well how would i exactly use only the graphical chipset of my processor when attempting to boot into the live USB. I have not attempted it with Trisquel 11 but ill try it just in case.
That GPU is quite recent. Trisquel 11 may better support it... although the graphical chipset of your Intel processor probably better work: see the NV160 column of https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/FeatureMatrix.html
There may be some configuration in the BIOS/UEFI to use Intel's integrated graphics. If they better work, you may then remove your discrete card.
Update, attempted to do the same thing on Trisquel 11 and I got an all black screen instead of just the blackscreen with the stripes like it did on Trisquel 10. attached is the image of that all black screen.
Have you tried the nomodeset option on grub?
If not, once you are on the GRUB UEFI boot options,
- * Try Trisquel GNU/Linux without installing
- Install Trisquel GNU/Linux
- Install Trisquel GNU/Linux in text mode
- Check disc for defects
with Try Trisquel GNU/Linux... selected press "e" to edit the option, then look for the /casper/vmlinuz line replace "quiet splash" in favor of "nomodeset", then just press F10.
And it should very likely boot correctly.
Regards.
