I’ve set up a VM on VMWare Workstation Pro 26H1 with a TPM2 module present.
I tried to install OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with TPM auto unlock enabled (option selected in the installer).
I used the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20260520-Media.iso installer image.
During installation, the installer threw the following error (screenshot):
I would appreciate help with this.
I tried om my up-to-date Tumbleweed system:
> ls /var/lib/pcrlock.d
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/pcrlock.d': No such file or directory
Reading VMware documentation I read openSUSE Leap 16.0 supported so I would try that instead.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I want to get this working rather than switch distributions.
I tried to install without TPM unlock and provision the TPM for auto unlocking (without a PIN) once installed. However, I’ve run into issues with that as well. After some wrangling, I rendered the (test) system unbootable:
(following the instructions adding measure-pcr-validator.ignore=yes to cmdline allows the system to boot again)
