Package: debian-live
Severity: important

Dear Debian Live Maintainers,
Today, I have attempted to boot debian-live-12.4.0-amd64-xfce.iso, after
`dd`ing it to a USB stick, and I failed miserably :(
Grub functioned without any problems, and the Live Environment booted.
However, the lightdm.service encountered errors, I believe to be related
to the package accountservices perhaps not being installed (I neglected
to check). It appears to be a mere suggested package in the log at link
[1], where maybe another package in the system should instead be marked
to depend or recommend the accountservices package--That, or perhaps it
should be manually installed.
An X display attempted to take over tty7, recurring in a loop, but then
eventually failed, and the output of `systemctl status lightdm.server`
gave more information pointing to accountservices, as in link [2]. Plain
`startxfce` and `startx` did not do the trick either. I was out of
ideas.
Aside from that, I was able to change to tty[1-6]s and browse some logs,
and perhaps could have ended up with a working system using the
wireless-tools package. However, at this point, I was not connected to
any networks (on purpose). .xsession-errors were spewed out, but Xorg
logs did not note anything strange (no lines with EE, indicating errors,
and maybe one or two WW which appeared unrelated to the problem
at-hand).

Is this happening on your machines?
Thanks! If this is a simple package installation to fix, I hope it can
be out before the next dot-release. Debian rocks, as always :)
A little more information:
UEFI, Secure Boot enabled.
Oddly, booting in failsafe mode, the kernel encountered a panic! I did
not note it nor troubleshoot it any further. I almost chalked it up to a
bad USB pendrive.
The debian-live-12.4.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso, `dd`d in the same manner as
the xfce version, booted up its graphical environment without any
issues, therefor I believe I can rule out the pendrive being bad.
I may be able to help troubleshoot this some more if it can not be
triaged / reproduced. Just let me know!
