Live session is running fine.
The link to release notes and turning off compositor buttons on the welcome menu work.

Live session looks great, Xfce4-panel seems sorted. Additional info in Live Welcome is appreciated. I'll install it later today.

Superb. I love the Debian Installer, still rock solid after all these years. My new installer banner looks OK after your eyes adjust.

BL Welcome is better than ever, I allowed it to install bluetooth and reformat my sources. Install Ublock Orgin for FireFox and you're good to go.

Downloading, transferring the ISO to USB, running it live and then installing it took 45 minutes at most on weak modern hardware with decent Internet.

Ship it!

@John, bluetooth also brings in cups? It's not bloat, but I'm not sure that's necessary.

Quick review: If you have liked BL in the past, you're going to love this.

I'll have a quick look, if there was some reason. I could imagine printer support possibly wanting bluetooth, but not sure about the other way round. Easy to tweak the metapackage dependencies if necessary. But maybe it's a dep of one of the other printer support packages.

^ I bet you're right, that it's for bluetooth printer support. Leave it as it is.

-edit- If you don't need printer support...

sudo apt purge --autoremove cups*

Can you change the default xfce4-terminal color palette? The red is too dark at the moment (simulate removing cups to see what I mean).

Re: BunsenLabs Carbon Release Candidate 3 iso available

Installed in Virtualbox.  6 cpu, 8192 memory, 128k graphics.  System will not allow any keyboard entry after boot. Tried recovery mode.  Got message "Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked".  Tried live system, same problem.

Tried a second install into Virtualbox, same  problem.  In the live system, sometimes a dialog will appear allowing me to disable compositor and then I can do keyboard entry. however, that dialog does not  always appear.  When booting from the installed Virtualbox instance, I never get the opportunity  to disable the compositor.  One other problem is that on first boot the system opens bl-welcom, but freezes and never displays any text.

I then tried to install to bare metal.  I reduced the size of the Windows  partition by 100G and then tried the BL install from  USB.  I told it to use the unused partition.  During the install it could not find the  ilwifi drivers so i continued the install without a network connection.  I proceeded correctly until trying to install grub where it threw an error.  The install was able to complete.

I then had to go into the boot menu and choose the debian partiton as grub had not been installed. Once selected, It brought up the system.  Bl-welcome started, I said yes to all the options and the script continued about half way through the install and  the terminal stopped accepting entry.  However, the mouse continued to work.  Oh, one other thing.  After the install, the system was able to detect my wifi connection, so I bl-welcome was able to update the software.

Host system: MSI Modern laptop running Windows 11 pro, 32Gb memory, Intel i9, ARC graphics.
