I just freshly installed the latest Tumbleweed ISO on a Toshiba S50B laptop.
The boot process looks a bit weird… especially those “loading bars”.
Did anything like that ever happened to you?
Other than that everything seems fine (to a Linux novice like me).
Thanks for any opinion
What video card? Is this a optimus based laptop (ie Intel+NVIDIA)??
Radeon,
I totally forgot, I thought I could easily forget about it and just use the integrated video card… but during installation I haven’t been presented any option.
Sorry, not sure what to do now
Maybe try installing the AMD driver
In Yast add the AMD repository tthen install the driver from Yast- software management
Note if you do Tumbleweed you really should know a bit about Linux
My TW install from time to time shows that strange characters but I just ignore them cause my system is working fine, no problems at the moment!
This means font was not properly loaded. I remember several attempts to fix it. Last idea was suggested just recently. Let me see … I think http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927250 is one.
Going a bit OT: I just wish that producer would put a BIOS switch to let user decide to disable the discrete graphic card and just use the onboard (if present) only.
Out of curiosity:
is any laptop producer letting you do that?
and are all recent intel laptop including the onboard graphic chip even when they provide the discrete one or they can possibly skim away the chip from the mother board design?
Cheers
Thanks! going a bit OT but still fonts-related:

It doesn’t happen with Leap (and with Manjaro/Antergos distros)
