I tried preformatted text and it doesn’t look any better? I can show you.

Edit: With preformaatted text and there is no color?
back to this issue.. this is indeed something with the new way we load Nvidia Drivers, i tested and i can see if i blacklist loading of the intel GPU by 2surpressing it on boot it does properly load nvidia GPU and shows rendering on the GPU not software.. And it wasnt like that before something changed on Nvidia again i bet..
I can check turning off Intel Gpu in Bios?
blacklist or hardware id blocking is what i tried so far..
I will need to cook some lunch now, will check back in later..
So i need to do it by individual line ?
No hybrid graphics. It’s a Dell XPS 8700 Haswell tower that I added the GTX 1060 to after purchase
no the complete blocj like before i have no clue how you get it doing this line by line tagging
When i try to set the complete block it doesn’t seem to work. Maybe I’m doing it wrong as I never ever used preformatted text button before.
Okay i checked my Bios and the Graphics is set to PEG which is Pci-express for the dedicated Nvidia gpu! I have no issues booting on either grub menu anyway.
yes i saw this already, it has intel GPU inside the CPU and dedicated nvidia GPU.
what you could try is adding this:
modprobe.blacklist=i915 as boot parameter on the Nvidia boot option. select nvidia boot entry with up and down kes and hit “e” to enter followd by “end” or right arrow to reach the end of the boot loine seperate with one hit on the space key and add the option modprobe.blacklist=i915 now when you hit enter it will boot using this option in addition.
or disable the hardware itself:
Find PCI ID
lspci -nn | grep -E "VGA|3D"
Example result:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [10de:1b81]
Vendor: 10de
Device: 1b81
Add kernel option:
pci-stub.ids=10de:1b81
example ids indeed you need to use yours.
@ricklinux may could try that.
But now Lunch time wife and kid is hungry
inxi -Ga results
Default
I booted on the live ISO with Nvidia menu and added modprobe.blacklist=i915

Edit: But either way I’m not having any issue with booting on the live ISO.
You have a Logitech Marathon mouse. I assume this is wireless. Have you tried a different usb port for the usb adapter and also are the batteries good in the mouse? Like full power and not almost dead?
Edit: I’m only asking this because I have no issue running off the live ISO on mine. I am using a wired usb mouse.
thats from default boot on nouveau drivers and it renders on the nvidia:
direct-render: yes renderer: NV136 device-ID: 10de:1c03 memory: 5.84 GiB
this is also causing issues on the Livesession?
Also i see only one GPU?
this is rendering on hardware..
Strange issue anyway, this will not happen if installed on harddrive.
Issue is we can not disable intel with the entry it would cause optimus hybrid notebooks to not work i think, as they will default boot on the igpu.
We will need some people in with Optimus notebooks 
anyone here with optimus notebook?
I have 2 dedicated pcie GPUs installed:
here booted and blacklisting i915:

bad.. also i have no issues using livesession nor installer will have issues, and installed system will work properly using hardware rendering not llvmpipe ..
We can may fix this on the fly too still i have some ideas.. issue for @CarlLaFong is possible that the software rendering is slow on his hardware.
i can also unload i915 on the running ISO and it will enable rendering on the nvidia GPU.. sudo rmmod -f i915 and logout the session
