openSUSE Leap 16

English Install/Boot/Login

  1. Everyone has a preference. Rufus if burning on Windows. Etcher if using Win or Mac or Linux. ImageWriter if on openSUSE.
    Personally, I use “dd” on a Linux machine.
  2. The OP never mentioned what was used to burn the ISO to the stick.

Me? Just for fun, I would use the ISO to first do a test install to a VBox VM. It’s a 10+ minute test.

I have same problem as last 2 people and I use Linux a lot my system is a AMD 7840HS and both offline and online installer is borked! Sticks at Kernal Load at Bios Screen.

I use Venroy USB I’ve trouble shooted it a lot its a OpenSuse Problem they need to fix this!

As explained, Ventoy is not supported. Install Leap without Ventoy. If it still fails, then, and only then it is a openSUSE issue. In this case a proper bugreport is needed.

27

I use a RTX 3060 12Gb and a six core AMD cpu with 64 Ram.
But the offline install keeps failing so I decided to look for opensuse alternatives

28

Strange that the RC worked there and not the 16.0. Can you explain that?

29

Oh dear, is it really so bad? Did you previously use OpenSUSE Leap? Do others experience the same? I should have hoped that the release of Leap 16 would create more excitement.

30

That makes no sense every other version of OpenSuse works with my Ventoy unless only this version doesn’t work??

31

I think they didn’t test it properly personally. Unless they made a version that didn’t work with Ventoy?

32

I was excited too but apparently this is the only version that doesn’t work with Ventoy? Finding this hard to believe.

33

I have tested from beta and up to now, and it’s only 16.0 online or offline that not working. the separate Agama installer ISO works, but it’s no 16.0 option there for now.

34

If you want Ventoy to work with Leap 16.0 you should open an issue (or, better, submit PR) for Ventoy project. Repeating here “it does not work” over and over again won’t make it happen.

35

Guys I had the same issue with Ventoy, so it is not working. But I used what Opensuse provides and problem solved.

Use this below:

sudo zypper install impression

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick

This is for the kernel panic problem when boot from usb…

Now for no GUI and only black screen use nomodeset when you boot from the USB with offline or online image…

Please see this:

I use openSuse leap 15 and versions before but I was curious about 16 without Yast. Not my favorite choise but we have to move on.
With Linux Mint there is no nvidia problem you can even set to install nvidia drivers after the install is finished

37

If your only intention is to rant, rather than seeking genuine assistance, then this topic will be moved to Open Chat.

38

Does Leap 16 generally require manual installation of the Nvidia driver? That would be sad! I did that once, but found it cumbersome that one needs to do a new driver installation before each kernel update.

39

For the open-driver of Nvidia I do not think so, but for proprietary driver it seems yes, at least this happened to my PC with GTX 1060 or maybe the no detection of GPU is related with the nomodeset.

Maybe the admins or developers has an answer about this…

40

That is simply incorrect for a Leap release.

Tested again with Rufus and still hangs in BIOS but now at a different place. Lol

It gets to finishing Setting Up Virtual Console.

I can install all other OpenSuse Versions no issues!
