Description

## Prerequisites
- [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

## Describe the bug
Live USB won't boot to desktop
### To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Download the latest live DVD, expand it to a USB flash drive. Since it's EFI boot I just open the iso with explorer and copy all the files from the virtual DVD to USB drive.
Then boot with the USB drive. Pressed enter to continue, and the splash showed, then the computer hanged and the display went power saving.
Here's some output after I disabled the splash:
