http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1018353 Bug ID: 1018353 Summary: No display shown when video is not set during installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: richard.bos@xs4all.nl QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 708751 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=708751&action=edit y2log installation log with default settings No GUI shown during installation. The GUI is only shown after manually selecting the video resolution. It's very confusing when the installer does not show any GUI after the boot prompt. It took a long time, effort and dedication to determine that the system can show a installer GUI. Initially I thought that LVDS-1:d and VGA-1:e were needed to make the installer GUI show up. In the end and with experimenting, it seems that video=1280x1024 works. The latter can be obtained via <F3>(video) and the selection of 1280x1024 setting. Hopefully with the log information attached, it is possible to determine what causing the current behavior, so with the next openSUSE version the installer GUI is presented to the user. Step to reproduce: - power on system - openSUSE boot prompt is shown - select installation - system boots from CD - kernel is loaded - after some time system starts to configure automatically, at this point the screen turns black.... - with video=1280x1028 a GUI installer is provided to the user in the end. The y2log-default-boot has been obtained, by typing various commands blind, to be able to save the log.... hwinfo attached -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
