[opensuse] openSUSE LEAP 42.1 on Lenovo S21e laptop
Install works great! Two bugs so far: - Touchpad (pointing device) does not work - No WiFi (Broadcom BCM43142) - Plugging in a USB mouse, works, as expected Found a BLOB post @ < https://alpha-labs.net/2015/08/lenovo-s21e-linux-and-the-touchpad/> which gives me hope these issues are solvable.

I don't have the same hardware (I have an Asus laptop) and meanwhile know that (in my case) the touchpad thing is a kernel issue, but reading your link I guess you are hit by the same: the actual kernel does not see the touchpad. Maybe you want to join https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=969098 and upload your dmesg and hwinfo output there, too, so they see it is not only my special machine - and who knows, maybe the solution one day gets backported to the actual leap kernels? :-) Meanwhile you can try installing a newer kernel (from 4.3 up the touchpad works). I myself had no luck with newer kernels but that seems to be because of my intel-nvidia graphic card mix...

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard Kernel:stable
Yes
zypper in --from Kernel:stable kernel-desktop
there is no more kernel-desktop on leap, it is kernel-default however using zypper in, zypper said "nothing to do" so I did it with Yast, looked at the versions of kernel-default and clicked to install 4.5
I will give that a try.

If you can do this ^, your system did not "books immediately to a completely black screen". Please better describe what you see as we cannot see your screen(s). Did you try additionally adding "nomodeset" to the kernel boot line? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That is GRUB, not the OS.

Adding "nomodeset" does avoid the black-screen. Now it is left sitting at "Loading initial ramdisk..." from which it never proceeds using the 4.5.0-4.gece3ff2-default kernel.

Is something perhaps missing?

On my Asus it worked with the 4.5.0-3 kernel. But since I updated to 4.5.0-4 I was not able to get it to work, not even after a complete new, clean install of leap and then only installing the new kernel. So I personally gave it up and stay with the original leap-kernel and its future updates. But maybe somebody else can lead you further...

Black screen indefinitely? Have you tried waiting 10 or more minutes to see if init does eventually proceed? Have you tried an alternative init=? cf. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2016-03/msg00030.html -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Got the wireless working easily. I grabbed the broadcom-wl packages from the Packman repository and copied them over to the machine using a thumbdrive [as the S21e has no ethernet] rpm -Uvh broadcom-wl-6.30.223.248-8.6.x86_64.rpm \ broadcom-wl-kmp-default-6.30.223.248_k4.1.15_8-8.6.x86_64.rpm Reboot. Bingo! Wireless works without any further fuss. Then subscribed to the packman repo now that the laptop has network connectivity.
