Hi, I've not checked all bug-tracker itemes, so I don't know if this is new or known. Since many years (I don't remind well, but first version was 2.x), I use SuSE/openSUSE. Since some the beginning I use the Tumbleweed bild only with some small boot issues. Due to a HW upgrade, I used for installation the current tumbleweed builds (openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso) with Snapshots 2017082x (x=2, 3, 5 if I remind well). So I've seen some issues during installation in all versions. My finding 1. Generation from bootable USB 3.0 memory device with ImageWriter was quite easy - but on the end, I can't see if this was well finished (closed without any remark - e.g. please remove device /dev/sdx - programming well finished) 2. Boot with EFI security works fine, but it starts as default in installation mode - from my point of view, it is better to wait unlimited - due to a longer installation, the reboot back in installation first step without any remark also confused me and I don't know if the installation was well done 3. If I switch the language on the first page to German (remark no German guy search "German" - all will search "Deutsch", so the sorting should be done with Deutsch/German - so an entering of D will switch in the correct region) Automatically, the keyboard layout will be selected as "Deutsch" - and if I test it in the offered field, it works fine. 4. After this, I changed the from my point of view to a better drive/partition mapping with encryption and using the more stable ext4 (due to full root drive issues more than 5 times in the past with the beta or buggy btrfs). But the main issue is, that I can enter a password e.g. with ä,ö,ü or simple y/z. If I test the correct entry also later in the user field - it works fine (due to the usage from correct German keyboard layout). 5. Selection from my unchanged preferred desktop KDE and installation - works still fine. Only in version from 20180822, also automatically the grub was switcht to password security (but not shown nicer in overview nor in configuration window). 6. After installation, the window is showing again the Language selection (reason also described in 2.). After a reboot without installation stick, grub requests a passwort => ok, after trail and error, I find out it is the same as used for the encryption key - and additional replacement from German keys with the English ones works. Same issue for sure in the partition encryption password field (sometimes this translation is no more so easy for me, so the last use of an English keyboard was for more than 40 years). After booting, the same behavior, Language and Formating was well switched but keyboard was still the English one. This can easily fixed with using yast and switching to a other one in Keyboard or Language menu and afterwords back to German (both works similar so I know after around 10 times of installation) After selection and test of the functionality of a well working Keyboard Language selection, also the Passwort entry works like expected with the typed characters like in installation. Remark: looks for me, like the keyboard layout settings was not correct copied to the installation 7. After reconfiguration of the installation (remove of the installation source - USB stick - and including of only online repositories and packman. The system works fine on my Intel NUC 7I7BNHX1 Intel Core i7 i7-7567U 2 x 3.5 GHz and 16GB Intel Optane™ M.2, which I have used as cache (after some crazy effects - I kicked it out and replaced it with a M.2 SSD 250 GB Samsung 960 EVO Retail MZ-V6E250BW PCIe 3.0 x4 and also kicked out my old 128GB Samsung 840 pro SSD MZ7pD128HCFV If the trouble with not correct working booting in all Snapshots and suspend trouble in version 20170823 remains, I let you know.
