Using openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20240801-Media.iso
I got to a screen where it asked me to download something due to a “Selected Repository.” After the download completed, it changed to a black screen with no text, no cursor, nothing at all. No input would do anything, and CTRL+ALT+DEL restarted the system.
Since it uses ventoy, the installation medium cannot be modified, as it’s just an ISO image being loaded to RAM, and thus the download will not persist through a restart. How do I go about installing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed via the net install in this way? My specifications are:
I tried using Fedora Media Writer (since I’m on Fedora XFCE right now) and using the ISO file with it made the USB Drive not bootable. So please tell me what I have to do.
And unetbootin won’t detect the restored USB Drive. regardless if I mount, then unmount or safely remove and then take it out of the USB Port then plug it back in.
dd if=<the path to the ISO file> of=/dev/sd<whatever the letter is that defines your USB device>
And of course you have to fill in the bits that I have put between < and >. Be specially carefull choosing the correct sd? device, or you could write over other disk.
You could add bs=1024 to speed up maybe.
You could also add progress if you are a nervous human being that stares at the screen waiting for something to happen.
This worked. I needed to add nomodeset again though, since it stalled at a black screen after downloading the image/etc. like before.
Afterward, I turned off yast firewall, because I’ve heard it causes issues (Ktorrent wouldn’t download anything, and still doesn’t even after turning it off) and my network printers cannot automatically be detected unlike in arch and fedora unless I completely turn off yast firewall (I added mdns and whatnot to internal like other places said, and it didn’t work.)
I might as well just return to arch at this point. Thanks anyway though.
