No OS Found

I’m having trouble installing Factory on my E325 ThinkPad Edge. Accepting the defaults, turn off secure boot (my laptop does not support secure boot.) GPT & EFI. After install the laptop reboots to no OS found. I’m thinking after Googling my Lenovo possibly has non standard EFI as per Ubuntu forums, however nothing SUSE specific. The installer chooses GRUB2-EFI automatically the only other options being GRUB2. When I installed 12.3 I had to switch on legacy boot in order to install. This seems to be the same problem.

EDIT: If I go with all defaults, secure boot check box ticked, the bootloader config fails to install. I then uncheck secure boot check box & laptop actually reboots to Factory. OS found! However new bug;

“Calling YaST module `inst_automatic_configuration has failed” All my username/password settings are not present to log in & it prompts to enter new user settings.

I reboot, problem solved!

Boy! Hairy!

You probably installed factory with live media (live KDE or live Gnome). The live media are still broken for install, though fine for direct running from live media. My factory installs have used the DVD installer.

I did!

Wish I’d known (KDE Live.) A forum post could’ve saved I a headache & many botched installs.

Even you did not post here what you used for the installation (nrickert had to guess). How can you blame others for not reporting it?

Text totally misread dude.

“I did!” (use live media.)

“Wish I’d known (KDE Live.) A forum post (on my behalf) could’ve saved I a headache & many botched installs.”

Love openSUSE, no blame thrown around!

How do I update? Zypper dup or apper?

Use “zypper dup”. But use it with caution.

Start with CTRL-ALT-F1 (or similar) to get to a text console that does not depend on your X session.

Login there as root. Run “zypper dup” from that text console.

That way, if the update restarts X, that won’t kill your update halfway through. (I think they have actually fixed that problem, but best to be safe).

I do not have a Plymouth splash. Should I? Grub branding was shafted till update. I may be missing a package, or maybe I should reinstall from DVD ISO?

Is plymouth installed?

I have plymouth installed. On booting, plymouth gives me a dull gray screen. That started with the 20140904 snapshot (if I recall correctly). It boots okay. I can still hit ESC to see the boot details if I want. If I don’t hit ESC, I see a uniform gray until the desktop comes up.

My guess is that to plymouth configuration is broken/incomplete at the moment (or a work in progress).

I do still get the plymouth prompt for encryption key (I use an encrypted LVM).

Plymouth is installed, yes. Normal behaviour by the sound of it then. Puts my mind at ease, thx.
