GParted News Item 234

The GParted team is pleased to announce a new stable release of GParted Live.

This release includes GParted 1.1.0, updated packages, and other improvements.

Items of note include:

• Based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2020/Oct/27)
• Linux kernel updated to 5.9.1-1
• Known Issue: GParted Live safe graphic setting Failsafe mode fails to enter graphic mode when booting from uEFI mechanism, while it's OK when booting from legacy BIOS one.

This release of GParted Live has been successfully tested on VirtualBox, VMware, BIOS, UEFI, and physical computers with AMD/ATI, NVidia, and Intel graphics.

Note that the default boot options did not display an X Desktop on old Acer Aspire laptops. The workaround is to select Other modes of GParted Live and choose GParted Live (Safe graphics setting, vga-normal).
