Hi,
I ve started with leap installation… It didn’t work. i have downloaded leap from direct link www.opensuse.org.
I have created bootable USB pen drive ,it asked me direct installation.It was not liveimage with desktop.I proceed with installation suddenly it went into nongraphical environment… Like midnight commander.
I have continue with instructions then it said installation medium is notopensuse media.
Then at the time of selecting drive to install it didn’t show unallocatedfree space on hard disc. Only native windows partitions was shown…i quitinstallation.
please guide me for UEFI installation what’s wrong happening? Is iso image is bad image on my USB?
Do i have to disable secure boot from bios?
The UEFI support in Leap 42.1 has a couple of bugs which affect some computers (such as my Dell Inspiron 660).
Disabling secure-boot works around this. The bug has been fixed in factory, so I’m expecting an update to my Leap install any day now. In the meantime, it is actually working using the “shim.efi” and “grub.efi” from opensuse 13.2 or from opensuse Tumbleweed 20151209.
Your problem is with the installer, which has the UEFI bug. I had to disable secure-boot to install. Then, after install, I copied good versions of “shim.efi” and “grub.efi” to “/boot/efi/EFI/opensuse”. And then I could turn secure-boot back on and everything still works.
Hi thanks for good info. So now i ve to copy shim.efi and grub.efi to my bootable usb pendrive right? Where i ll get these files? I don’t ve opensuse 13.2 with me.
Other hand if i ll disable secure boot , does Windows 10 will get affected?
I think it would be wiser to disable secure boot, and then install. After that, copy good versions of “shim.efi” and “grub.efi” to “\EFI\opensuse” in the EFI partition (or “/boot/efi/EFI/opensuse” for the installed system). After that, you can turn on secure boot again.
I don’t ve opensuse 13.2 with me.
Easiest might be to download the NET installer for Tumbleweed. That’s in “http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/”. Be sure to get the 64-bit version. If you download that to a linux system, then you can mount the iso as a file system. For me, using the Rescue CD (already downloaded here), that would be:
mount -o ro openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Rescue-CD-x86_64-Snapshot20151209-Media.iso /mnt
cd /mnt/EFI
cd BOOT
ls
bootx64.efi grub.cfg grub.efi
Of those three files, “bootx64.efi” is really “shim.efi”. So you can copy that file to “shim.efi” in the opensuse directory. And “grub.efi” will also be needed (to fix a different bug).
Then unmount.
Alternatively, you could download the RPM, if you know how to extract files from there.
If you have somewhere that I can upload a zip file, then I can upload those. But that depends on trusting me rather than trusting opensuse.
Other hand if i ll disable secure boot , does Windows 10 will get affected?
I don’t have Windows 10 to check this. I do have Windows 8.1, and it is not affected by disabling secure-boot. So I doubt that Windows 10 would be affected.
Just leave secure boot off. It is at most a placebo If a program or person is in a position to alter your boot stack he owns the machine anyway. All secure boot does is assure that the boot stack has not changed. Admittedly there is some small benefit of protecting the boot stack but it is marginal.
sorry for delay in reply, finally i got success in installing leap alongside windows 10. thanks for support. touch screen also detected and leap working smoothly. i have found nice article on
