Error at installation

And then guys okay?

I decided to switch distributions chose Open-SUSE for several reasons, the problem at installation time came a series of possibilities hd and chose the one that was already pre selected, chose the environment … only in the middle of the installation came a Freaky message. “NOT COMPATIBLE HARDWARE ERROR MODULE …” something, someone can not be that my not support SUSE? I chose something wrong … help me please! I really want to install SUSE!

A bit more information would help.

One place where you might get that message, is when setting up booting. On a UEFI system, you should use “grub2-efi”, while on a non-UEFI system, you could use “grub2” or “grub” (the legacy version, or grub 1).

But I don’t know if that is your problem. You did not tell us where in the install you ran into that message.

Was preset can not remember well, I guess /swap.

My fear is that my laptop does not have compatibility with Open SUSE, you do not have a light?

Including the error message occurred after all configured after selecting which would be installed, my name, password, country, schedule, al ine the installation okay to come out of nowhere came this message (Error INSTALATION, HARDWARE INCOMPATIBLE) AND REMEMBER THAT ALREADY SINCE agradesco.

It is rather rare for that to happen. You successfully booted the install media, which means that the compatibility cannot be too bad.

That could still be a boot setup problem. There’s too little information to tell.

Some questions for you:

  1. Is your box a UEFI box?
  2. What’s the output from
 #efibootmgr -v

(found while running the install media).

  1. What version of opensuse are you attempting to install?
  2. Which install media are you using – the DVD or a live KDE or Gnome
  3. Are you trying to install 32-bit or 64-bit?

Actually came in two more DVD at installation time chose Gnome x64 bits.

This module error happened with Ubuntu so I used a script that would stop charging such.

Impossible.

openSUSE install uses a single DVD. You are not using openSUSE.

I copied the error message:

“Start instalation or System”

You may need to load some drivers (modules) to support your hardware

That’s ONE DVD, and you said above you used TWO.

Sorry, but you are not explaining yourself very clearly. :-?

That tiny URL resolves to this full one:


> opensuse.c3sl.ufpr.br/distribution/13.1/iso/openSUSE-13.1-DVD-x86_64.iso.torrent

That’s not an official download source, it could be corrupted for all we
know. The official download site is this:


http://software.opensuse.org/131/en

However, I downloaded the torrent file from your source, and compared it
to the official one, and they are exactly the same - so that’s not the
problem.

The original OP has not provided us with information about the laptop.

What is the brand of laptop including model number?
Please provide as much info as possible.

Let’s say that the download is corrupt, can someone give me a source for me to download the version with 13:01 supoprte UEFI (GNOME), may well be able to install it, since already agradesco!

I’m downloading this version, hopefully right!

I checked earlier, as I thought the same at first, but it is in the official list of mirrors also found at the following official link you provided:

The official download site is this:

openSUSE Leap - Get openSUSE

It appears that when you click on the official download site, you get
redirected automatically to a mirror. The torrent file is thus
automatically downloaded from anywhere. As long as the initial click is
on the official site, the torrent file should be the same, but I’m not
familiar with this particular part of the process.

If you click on “Pick Mirror”, then click the download button, you get this following list of mirrors, which includes the one the OP downloaded from:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/iso/openSUSE-13.1-DVD-i586.iso?mirrorlist

I know.

But the issue is the following:

When you download one of the ISOs directly, you are expected to verify
the checksum, which you can see on the official page⁽¹⁾. Thus,
regardless of the mirror you use, you can verify that the ISO you obtain
is correct.

However, if you download the “torrent link”, it is not a link, but a
small file with data for the torrent client. How do you verify the
integrity of that torrent data file?

You have to wait till download of the ISO completes, then verify the
obtained ISO. This can take days if your network is slow, like mine.

However, if you download the metalink data file, it is downloaded
directly from the official server, not a mirror: it can not be tampered
with.

(1) The https version of the page is not fully certified. FF gives a
grey triangle warning, not a padlock.

Bittorrent itself takes care of validating the integrity of the chunks.
It’s extremely difficult - at best (from what I understand, nigh
impossible) to seed with bad data. The block checksums that are
calculated along the way prevent bad data from propagating.

So, in general, if the .torrent file actually connects to the proper
swarm (which is generally easy to check, by downloading the .torrent file
from the official site and comparing those small files), you aren’t going
to get a corrupt image.

That’s one reason why Bittorrent is so popular for distribution. It
offloads seeding from a single source repository (by using everyone who’s
downloading as an uploader, the more people downloading, the faster the
entire swarm is), and provides validation of data integrity in the
process.

In fact, you don’t even need to do that, now I think about it a little
more - you just have to make sure the torrent file you downloaded
connects to the official tracker, which can be done in your torrent
client.

This afternoon, I used the metalink file with “aria2c” to download the new kubuntu (just for testing). And it connected to a torrent. The download took maybe 15 minutes. But it is still uploading, almost 4 hours later. I think (from the man page), that it will only upload about as much as it downloaded, so it should be almost done. I had not expect the uploading behavior, because my prior “aria2c” experience had been with opensuse where it has always downloaded from an http mirror.

In any case, the metalink file did indeed come from the official server even though I was downloading with torrent.
