Ok I have used Suse in the past on my old laptop
now I have a Toshiba S75t-A7220
Intel Quad Core i7-4700mq CPU’s 2.40GHz x2
12.0 GB Ram
Full Windows Touch Support with 10 Touch Points
Video Intel HD 4600 Shared /memory
1TB HDD
It has windows 8.1 preinstalled
I have the drive partitioned with 100gb free for opensuse
it uses UEFI secure/Boot and I can’t lose windows 8
I have installed Ubuntu 14.1LTS don’t care for it any system you need to hack into to gain root is stupid.
every time I try open suse it just hangs even the live images please help
It should fly on this system.>:)
Could be a a video problem there was a problem with the Intel driver on the 13.1 DVD there is a patch but you got to install first LOL
At the installer boot screen ( I assume you arrived there) press e then find the line that starts with linux go to the end and enter a space then nomodeset F10 should resume the boot
This should continue the install using more generic drivers
You may need to do that again when the system reboots
Once installed and running do an update which should update the Intel drive among other things that should then correct the problem
Thank you
Yes I have tried this and there is no line that starts with linux
except linuxefi and this one will not work.
I have read this in the forums should have stated that i have tried this.
If I disable secure boot and uefi then it will start with no kms but then i lose windows 8.1.
Plus it won’t load a boot loader unless I format the whole drive allowing a master boot record.
Is opensuse able to boot with secure boot.
I would think so since Microsoft is a large contributor to the opensuse project .
Thanks for any help
Yes, that’s the line that you are looking for. Putting “nomodeset” (without the quotes) at the end of that line should do the same thing as the NoKMS with the legacy boot method. So maybe try it again.
Ok thank you I did add it to the end of the linuxefi line with space.
Then after about an hour I hit ctl alt f4 to see the process if it was not froze.
I found that it was stuck trying to load usb drivers for my touchscreen and error out and repeated adding inputs over and over.
Added pic from my facebook finally found a use for facebook lol.

This is weird correct?
any way to prevent this i cant find anything in the bios the kill the touch screen
If you look close the USB addresses are different so I guess there is a defined device for each of the 10 touch points
So does it then hang after detecting and rejecting the 10 points?
It seems to be timing out on each usb port.
Hmm, I occasionally have that happen on one computer. Rebooting usually solves it. But maybe you have new hardware that the kernel is not properly recognizing. Ubuntu 14.04 has a newer kernel. Maybe you will need to wait until opensuse 13.2 Milestone 1 is available for testing, as perhaps it will have a kernel that can handle your hardware.
Alright solved this it was loading each touch point and fail to load the driver with the usb 3.0 so I dropped my usb 3.0 to 2.0 in bios and dam its fast loves the 8 cores and 12 gig of ram
I would like to say thanks to every one here who contributed to my love of opensuse. A Big WOOT to
