Trying Trisquel 6.0 without installing: How to proceed beyond the login window

I am using the default Trisquel 6.0 64-bit ISO from the download page. I want to try Trisquel before installing as the topic title* says. However, I cannot find any login info for "Other", my only login option, for accessing Trisquel beyond the login window. Additionally, clicking login without inserting a password or a username does not succeed, and actually the window will just sit processing for a least 30 minutes(I did not bother waiting more) if I do not use a username.

I considered just installing, but I believe this should be clarified.

*I am guessing Asunto basically means topic title.

To try Live Trisquel you could use Unetbootin to create a live USB or CD. Hope it helps.

Do I need a different ISO or need to do more work beyond burning the ISO to create a Live DVD? I have the default ISO from the download page burned to a DVD which presents the "Try Trisquel without installing" option. I was using this DVD to try before I posted my issue.

This is a bug that seems to affect some computers with radeon cards.

There should be a way around this without using a different livecd (and a different livecd probably would not help). Try pressing F6 at the startup window (where you see the options to try live or install, etc) and enable the option "nomodeset". You will not need to enable this though if you want to install it.

Hope this helps!

Enabling nomodeset worked. I am using a radeon IGP so that makes sense. Thanks!
