Yes. Looks ok.

Probably you find better experts on debian-live@lists.debian.org
See
https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/
In any case you will have to report as much of the messages as you can.
But, urm, it might be that debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-standard.iso does
not provide any graphical user interface. Maybe a shell prompt is all
you can expect from it.
Try
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-11.1.0-amd64-xfce.iso
or other .iso files from that page which name a graphical desktop system,
like "kde", "gnome", "cinnamon", ...
If you get further than with "standard", but still don't get a graphical
desktop, then it is at latest time to consider Andrei POPESCU's proposal
of using a "non-free" image (i.e. with the proprietiary drivers and
firmware which Debian can accept with outmost tolerance).
E.g.
https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-11.1.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso

They are supposed to differ only by the way of downloading.
"bt-hybrid" is for users of bittorrent, "iso-hybrid" is for users of web
browser or download tools like "wget".
Have a nice day :)
