Recently, I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed on my computer which has Nvidia GeForce GTX 750ti. In the installation, I faced few problems. When I hit the Installation in the installation menu, it goes black screen and ‘no signal’. I edited the conf by pressing ‘e’ and appending nomodeset, and it works. But the display is too large, and has problem connecting to internet. I asked the forum and yet haven’t found any fix on it.
After few disto hopping, I found Manjaro to works well, in the installation it selected install with proprietary drivers and it works, from display, to the usb wifi adaptors’ driver.
But then, as I really like to try out openSUSE. I tried to install it once again. I chose Leap, as I prefer to not have updating too frequent that could break the system. I like stability and focus more on stuffs I like to do. I also hoping that Leap might fix the issues that Tumbleweed can’t offer.
Once I installed Leap, I got that black screen and no signal again. So, I added nomodeset as usual. Leap fixed the driver issue on my usb wifi adaptor but the screen resolution is still too large. I don’t really have that much knowledge on fixing it.
I hope someone give a helping hand on this matter.
I followed this installation of proprietary driver for NVIDIA: SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE Wiki
It always throw me this specific error along with other errors and it won’t proceed to install:
Empty destination in URI: hd:/?device=/dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-ventoy
is it related to how I installed the OS? I used ventoy on my usb stick to install Leap.
that removed the ventoy error but I can’t still proceed due to this another error:
