Leap 16 Beta: Boot hangs if Gnome selected during install

Boot hangs on 1st boot after install of Leap 16 Beta when Gnome is selected. Hangs at:
Started Gnome display manager
Started Cups Scheduler

Reinstalled…same selections, same thing.
If KDE Plasma is selected instead of Gnome, install completes and boots fine.

Hello sdrake,
Which Installer did you use, net-install or offline-install?
What was your software selection beside Gnome?
Which hardware do you use? Do you have AMD or Nvidia video hardware?

I’m running Leap 16-beta with Gnome on a notebook and it is working fine. I used the net-installer.

I used offline install - from the 4gb iso.
Only software added was Gnome. One time I also selected File Server.
I’m installing in VM Workstation 17 - select Version as “SLES 15 SP6” so I can select UEFI in Advanced properties. If I select OpenSUSE, only BIOS is available. Hardware is HP Zbook with nvidia

FWIW, I’ve seen this with both the net installer and the offline installer, installing in a VMware virtual machine (both BIOS and UEFI machine types - I use “Other Linux” as my OS type).

Upgrading from Leap 16.0 Alpha works, so it’s probably something in the installation set.

This should be reported per the instructions at openSUSE:Known bugs 16.0 - openSUSE Wiki (I haven’t had a chance to do so yet, so go ahead and report it and provide the bug number here so I can track it).
