Bad time installing tumbleweed

English Install/Boot/Login

Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong… I’ve used OpenSUSE for nearly ten years without any problems but now I can’t even install it without problems.

I’ve got secure boot turned on in bios/uefi.

I need to add nomodeset to start the usb install.

It installs ok but I need to add the nvidia drivers. Apparently the open driver is the one to use but

zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta nvidia-userspace-meta-G06

Says package not found.

If I then go into yast the package is in the list and preselected, and it installs.

Reboot and sometimes I get the blue mok pop up but the only option is to continue or reset. It then goes to an ugly grub menu, not the pretty OpenSUSE boot menu.

I’ve tried a fresh install half a dozen times and I’ve now got the drivers loading but I’m still stuck with the old style grub screen and a blue mok screen that I have to choose continue on otherwise it goes into a reboot loop.

Is it me ! Or that I’m trying to use the open driver.

Thanks

This is the new grub2-bls default screen.

You need to import the key into MOK. After that was succesfull, you need to remove nomodeset from your kernel command line to get the drivers into operation.

But /usr/share/nvidia-pubkeys/ doesn’t exist.

On a few of the previous attempts the OpenSUSE boot menu would show for .1s then jump to the black/white menu. I used to have the option to boot into motherboard settings, choose the windows install etc… it’s like a big backwards step if that’s the way it is now.

This directory only exist when using the closed source drivers.

You need to choose grub2-efi instead of grub2-bls in the installation summary if you want the old style.

Thank you - that sorted it. I wasn’t stuck with a low resolution when the drivers weren’t installed too.
