Hi! I’ve tried to write many openSuse images on an SD for the raspberry using:
xzcat [image].raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress; sync
but i get stuck here:

What can i do?
Hi
What model Raspberry Pi and image are you using? Do you have a TTL serial cable to connect via USB from a second computer over USB and the likes of minicom? Have you done as suggested and hook up the ethernet cable?
Hi, i don’t have a TTL cable and the raspberry is a Pi 3B+. Iìve tried with Leap Jeos, Leap LQXT, Tumbleweed Jeos.
Hi
Let me test the latest Tumbleweed JeOS, did you connect an ethernet cable?
Nope, no cable connected.
Raspbian light is booting fine?
Yes, raspbian boot fine
Hi
Try connecting an ethernet cable…
Looks like the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi3.aarch64-2020.03.25-Snapshot20200421.raw.xz image is foobar, drops to maintenance prompt…

Hi
Re-did the Tumbleweed image and it seems fine now… boots up without issue.
O.O … i’m trying to write the image with another card reader. Are you using the
xzcat [image].raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress; sync
command?
Hi
No progress and run the sync command when finished;
xzcat openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi3.aarch64-2020.03.25-Snapshot20200421.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdb iflag=fullblock oflag=direct

I also use wipefs -a to delete the partitions and sdb before laying down the image. I also check the sha256sum…
I’ve not understood why, but decompress the xz and write raw image with gnome-disks did the trick. Now it works, thanks
