Hi!, I’m new in opensuse and I can’t boot a live usb disk with opensuse Tumbleweed Gnome, followed the creation methods from the opensuse wiki and when booting it stays in the green screen background and nothing happens, what can i do?
I created from windows with many usb image apps and centos with imagewriter and nothing works.
I suspect that the problem may be with video what video chips do you have. Also Gnome is very picky and may not work if a fall back diver is used so maybe try a KDE live image. And do not use any other USB boot helpers follow the instruction on the live openSUSE page only
I-m currently using an Nvidia 465 and an Nvidia 560. I havent tried with KDE, I followed the USB boot helper recommended by opensuse, but I-m going to try kde too. Thank you
You have two video cards??
Try removing one. It may be confusing the installer
Are they setup as SLI?
FYI, I occasionally had problems booting live Gnome images from USB.
On a box I just had to WAIT: there are timeouts set as high as 3 minutes, seems as hangup but it is not.
Occasional problems with UEFI booting were worked around by booting in MBR mode (or CMS or legacy or whatever it might be called on your BIOS).
I tested in 2 PC, hehe, sorry for the misunderstanding. No sli, one card for one pc and the other to the other pc. It seems a bug in the snapshot, I tried the stable 13.2 live cd and it worked fine.
Just for the records, were both your tests with UEFI booting?
Did you try “non UEFI” booting (CMS or whatever it is called on your PCs)?
My pc is old, doesn’t have UEFI system and the other is pretty new but I tried without UEFI.
Are you sure the download was good?
Did you check the checksums?
At exactly what point does it fail
Remember we can not look over your shoulder you have to tell us
Hello folks.
I don’t mean to be hijacking this thread. Sorry to Zabander. I am having a similar problem, I think. I always like keep an updated iso in case I toast my system and the last few Live USBs that I have created have also seemed to freeze at the “green screen”.
I have tried the dd method and also imagewriter, but have had the same result… no complete boot.
Interestingly enough, if I create a live CD with Brasero, I’m successful. Any suggestion? Thanks!
