Have you tried adding "nomodeset" to the command line when you boot the ISO or selecting "safe" mode? I've found that necessary on my ancient NVidia chipset.

Yes, I tried nomodeset and safe mode... no effect. The ISOs boot up fine - I can follow he boot sequence along right up until YaST is launched, and then nothing, and I can't see anything obvious yet that gives me any hint as to what's going wrong. I know the computer works... I'm typing this reply on it (using a non-openSUSE distro) right now.

Besides nomodeset, you also want textmode=1. Starting an X server's plugins that require KMS to be active seldomly goes unpunished when KMS is deactivated via nomodeset.

Hi all, I'm using 12.1 on my Z-Box to type this, I had no issues at all either installing (in November I think, looking at file dates) or running daily since. I use this machine too much to be able to use it for 12.2 pre-release tests unfortunately. I don't have "nomodeset" or "textmode" elements in my kernel parameters, just LUKS encryption (which also installed perfectly) - if you want me to post any config files let me know. -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I didn't think nomodeset would help in this situation... and it made no difference. I did manage to get 12.2rc1 (and 12.1) to install by using the text version of the installer. It just refuses to install using the GUI YaST.

Now I've got new issues... mainly horrendous Flash performance. Separate issue and a topic for another email over on the main mailing list since I'm working on 12.1 right now as the main OS.

I you are seeing blue skin in youtube videos with Flash. Right-click and select Settings and disable "enable hardware accleration". -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No that's not it - that issue is specific to Flash with nVidia, and this machine has an Intel 3150.

IIRC 3150 is one of these horrible Poulsbo/GMA500 based designs. It most probably needs a binary blob to work fast, and I dont know if the stock kernel supports this binary blob.

Possible... no idea. My point of comparison is the latest Sabayon and Mint. Both of those install cleanly and Flash works fine. So whatever they are providing works properly, and whatever comes with openSUSE doesn't.

I need to spend a little time poking each of the installed distros to see what Xorg versions are in use. I want to re-install 12.2RC1 first though... get a clean install there (I've been mucking around too much). That's the weekend task.
