Just installed openSUSE Leap 16 pre-Alpha

Yeah, I’m stuck here on a few laptops.

@jonzn4suse

So, you’re attempting to install 16-beta onto true hardware (on multiple machines) vs installing to a virtual machine??

Thats why I love HP 17inch Zbooks. They can hold 4 drives.
Looks like I’ll have to install 15.6 and then update the repos.
Not a fan of this new installer. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

Any discussion on giving us the choice to use the previous installer instead forcing the new and still experimental installer? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

@jonzn4suse It’s a done deal… https://agama-project.github.io/blog/2025/01/21/Agama-11

I agree completely !! As it stands now, it’s as if we’ve gone back to the 1980’s. Very very limited options to perform a more granular install. The “feedback” during an install is also very lacking.

It was released too soon - too many missing options.

I just recently attempted to install Leap 16 again … Agama got halfway thru the install, then paused for 10-15 minutes, then stopped. No information whatsoever. I attempted to install two more times - same outcome … it would get about 1/2 way thru the install, then the loooooong pause with no feedback whatsoever about the delay, them bombed out.

So, now I will have to wait when openSUSE decides to release an off-line (standalone) installation ISO. I could have downloaded a 4+ GB ISO in less time than the 3 attempts (which was far beyond 4 GB ) that failed. Keep in mind, this Agama is, at the moment, just a “network installer”.

@myswtest Won’t happen unless a) someone creates issues at github for their problems or b) steps up and makes it so…

They have 8 months to improve the process. It woult help that you report issues when you find a problem.

I cannot run yast2. “Qt GUI wanted but not found.” How do I install Qt GUI?
