I think my problem is something similar to the problem described on the mailing list:

https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2017-06/msg00651.html

1. I wrote an image to flash drive, using dd, and installed openSUSE. 2. After installation I wanted to format the USB flash drive with FAT32, using Partitioner in Yast.

How did you format the usb in Partitioner? Did you remove all partitions in the usb disk? Please, describe exactly what you did here.

3. My pendrive worked when it was mounted as root, as guest did not. Changing to automount in the KDE settings did not help. It also worked on Windows.

Please, execute fsdisk -l (as root) and paste here the output to inspect what your usb contains at this point.

4. I tried different ways to format a memory stick in Partitioner.

Please, describe what you exactly did step by step.

5 Something broke. During boot systemd waited one and a half minutes, I realized that it can not find pendrive. Previously I chose option in Partitioner to mount my pendrive.

I guess you selected to mount the usb at a specific mount point. Maybe this is not a good idea, but once again, it is necessary to know what exactly you did.

6. As a result, I restored the system snapshot. Because KDE did not want to start?!

7. Pendrive still did not want to mount. That's why I used parted in the console. 8. I deleted the partition made in Partitioner, I created a new partition on the usb disk. 9. Its mounts! But there was no empty partition, only with EFI files to boot the installer?!

10. Then I used the following command:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1k count=2048

I once again used Partitioner. The USB drive works as it should, it mounts itself without root.

I believe that the default behavior of Partitioner should be - to overwrite certain blocks to get rid of the installer.

Please, moreover, it is necessary you attach the YaST log files. See here how to do it: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug#I_reported_a_YaST2_bug.2C... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
