I installed trixie to a flash drive and when it boots the screen shows a live login prompt, but it never logs in when I click on it. The screen just returns to the same login screen.

This is the first I seen of this....but from what i read it could be

Permissions failures in tmpfs or /run/live environment

Corrupted or missing non-free firmware image

Broken .Xauthority or session config

Try
Switch to a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+F2 password is blank for the live session
Check and reset home directory ownership

sudo chown -R user:user /home/user rm -f /home/user/.Xauthority

Then return to the GUI with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and try logging in again.

See what the logs show
journalctl -eu lightdm -n 50

Not a solution but it could provide a clue as to what the problems could be...
