OK, and what hardware *is* it please? Does it have AMD graphics, for
example?
I came across this interesting bug in 10.3, for instance I could install
gnome or mate without a problem, lxde without a problem but when I installed
lxqt always the same result, I would end up with a terminal and not with a
graphic lxqt.
Now the same after 10.4 started to happen with kde, I tested the network cd
as well, same thing. strange.
My wifi is recognized by the free firmware. I never had any problems with it,
for instance i can connect to it using the Debian installer just fine.
Right.
Note that I am not using any live images, I am using the dvd and today I used
the network cd, thinking perhaps the dvd was the problem. I had Debian
Stretch before and even before that Jessie, I used the DVD and did not
encounter any installation problems.
Note something, I installed KDE, ended up with a command line instead of the
graphic KDE. I installed gnome-core then using the command line and I could
get both gnome and kde working. Something in the DVD messes up the graphics
when using one of these desktop environments.
As for the standard iso, you know there is mate iso, kde iso, and a standard
iso.
Ummm, no. That sounds like you're talking about the live images. We
*don't* have a "standard" DVD installer image, just a "standard" live
image. We also don't have desktop-specific DVD installer images.
Please try again with the normal installer image from
http://get.debian.org/images/release/10.4.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-10.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
and see if that works better for you?
