Cannot Install Open SUSE 12.1

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi All!I have a problem,i can’t install Open SUSE:

First Method i’ve tried:
i burned .ISO on USB 4GB,then i booted into USB and i clicked “Live Gnome”,So it loaded kernel but after loaded it show me a terminal then require login.I Typed Root and it showed me another terminal but i don’t known what i must type…

Second Method:
Mounted ISO on Windows with Daemon Tools,i enter in Mounted CD then i execute with Admin Privileges Install_Local but it says “You haven’t got Administrator Priviliges”…

What can i do?

Thanks for help,
Cheezzolo

Most of you post doesn’t make sense.

  1. Because you describe a 4GB .iso which would be the DVD - Fine.
  2. But then you mention booting the Gnome Live session. Which is not part of a DVD

So have you made a Bootable USB? And is it a DVD or CD image?
Did you write the USB with Imagewriter?
SDB:Live USB stick - openSUSE

*Whatever you do - DON’T run the installer from a running windows session. You’ll bork everything for sure.

sorry,my bad:

4GB is the USB Key that i’ve burned Open SUSE .I’ve burned it with LiLi USB Creator

now i try with SDB
Thanks

Thanks!I will try it now

So i’ve installed Open SUSE from your method,Grub and Dual Boot works fine but not Open SUSE:

it’s showing me a terminal because it says that haven’t installed graphical interface…so what can i do now? :confused:

#8

Have you tried booting the Failsafe option?

#9

IN addition to trying failsafe option, also try the boot code ‘nomodeset’.

Now if it refers to ‘graphic interface’ it rather implies that it has a problem with the graphic interface, and ergo for us to help, we need to know somethings about your graphics hardware ( ie EXACTLY what is it ? ) … and what driver was attempted to be loaded but failed ?

Perhaps also advise us as to:
.

  • exactly what graphic hardware is on your PC ?
    This you can find out by typing the command :

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
  • exactly what graphic driver is in use and was attempted to be loaded on your PC ?
    This you can find out by viewing the contents of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file … For example on my PC with the nVidia proprietary driver I see many entries with lines starting with (==) NVIDIA(0) and (–) NVIDIA(0) … an EASY way to look at that file’s contents is to type:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less

and scroll back and forth to figure out what driver was attempted to be loaded, and press the key ‘q’ to quit.

tomorrow i will try failsafe e nomodeset.I`m not at home for now but my graphic card is ATI Radeon X1550,on other distro like Ubuntu i was using Radeon Open Drivers.
I will write more specs tomorrow,Thanks.

sorry for assence,but i was busy.

I noticed that Open SUSE Just tell me that i got less than 1 GB of RAM…but i’ve got 1024 mb of RAM.Today i will reinstall it to see xorg and drivers

#12

Is this graphic card RAM or mainboard RAM you are preferring to?

wrt details on ones hardware I like the summaries that one can get from running the Packman packager packaged version of ‘inxi’ program.

1024 mb of RAM
= 1GB actually

and then the BIOS grabs some, so the result is less than 1 GB, of course.
