I turned secure boot off in bios. I get as far as the sliding green bars and part way through that it just stops. I have waited and waited and nothing ever happens from this point on
The laptop is new:
ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) Gaming Laptop, 16” ROG Nebula Display 16:10 2.5K
240Hz/3ms, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 GPU, Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor
275HX, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, Wi-Fi 7
Any ideas?
TIA
Did you already try nomodeset at the kernel command line?
you can do that on the installer?
Yes. Simply hit “e” in the grub menu. Navigate with the arrow keys to the line which starts with “linux”. Hit “End” and type nomodeset (with a blank before). Hit “F10”.
Illustrated (type nomodeset instead of the 3).
I am re-downloading the TW iso and verifying the sha256 sum , Then i am using suse image writer to create a flash key. If that still fails to get the installer going i will see if i can add nomodeset to the installer command line .
nomodeset worked - thank you!
After you have setup your machine, install the Nvidia drivers. Then you need to remove nomodeset from the kernel command line, or the Nvidia driver won’t work properly (not all resolutions available and so on).
The removal of the parameter can be done by executing following commands:
sudo update-bootloader --del-option nomodeset
sudo update-bootloader --config
Why does the installer not see the 1TB windows drive. All it shows is my 60GB flash key. The system came with windows, is there some weird thing windows did with the drive
“It was no possible to propose and initial partitioning layout even after adjusting the Guided Setup settings”
Yeh because it doesn’t see the 1TB nvme drive. I know it works because i booted to windows once
ok, found it, you have to dig around in bios and find VMD and turn it off then the nvme drive shows up
