[opensuse-factory] recommended way to install tumbleweed?
Hello, I try to install Tumbleweeb on a Dell Optiplex 755 with 4Gb ram and it fails repetidly net install, the officially recommended way fails with a lot of errors (package not found), kde do not install, xfce neither. live kde boots and run without problem the main problem looks like grub can't install, even with the minimal install (no graphical, no osprobe...) the usual method of rescue (mount --bind then chroot) fails with chroot error last time I installed Tw, I could install 13.2, change repos and zypper dup, but now with Leap I don't think it's still possible of course I can still install 13.2, but I rather think there must be something easier! anyway install of 13.2 works like a charm... and by the way sha1 from this page https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation or http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ at least for 64 bits Net install do not fit on the first page the link go to "current" and the iso links to "media", the sha1 are different and none fits the iso sha1 #sha1sum openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20160105-Media.iso 546d4c08ef6123ea45c812d8690440e767f5069a openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20160105-Media.iso (same result with two different downloads) and sha file: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 2fe79354b86b6e02810f1dd4bbc90d21b579c054425102996404859f95a1c955 openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-i586-Snapshot20160105-Media.iso -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBVowDQ7iLL9Q9vcKEAQhyqwf/REU/+Xs6H2+p//G6c+H9mmGSnKtVHe0+ aCfPCvRUVK96cuLPoq4LkPe1eu8JnOHQvNRdfOL+yONiSEwxoOZHu5X6rWMlTeMx 0ng7OgvIDSsXBqAXOxNmpj8EPDw5hsXbRIcKmzVGfrvtriGZwnZK1LRWfdTw4qe+ sdyNWIE7lr+fPWEHY+0ZVcBcwUKhqmQZgwuwQQ2/WgfB0xmmZ+mr+GGJ3piV04Im 2XkuzFeOLzATMid+YQS6zC69pteWkPnOnpI+YfQoWpP3U4Kfxsd2y0TruBhEuIfs FHYbOqw0JwGqN64NRUZkSZkVf5WiMPZIA6OahgTZuhq75ABEH/hlhw== =+SDM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- sha1sum -c openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-i586-Snapshot20160105-Media.iso.sha256 sha1sum: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-i586-Snapshot20160105-Media.iso.sha256 : aucune ligne de somme de contrôle SHA1 trouvée jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

FWIW, I have TW installed on Optiplexes: 620 745 760 780 as well as many other machines. All installations are fully funcitonal on multiboot and were done via HTTP, initialized via Grub loading previously downloaded installation kernel and initrd. A 755 I don't have, but it has been told to me that the 755 has a BIOS that not unusually causes installation trouble with Linux, so you may want to investigate outside the openSUSE forums for possible clues to your trouble. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

A 755 I don't have, but it has been told to me that the 755 has a BIOS that not unusually causes installation trouble with Linux, so you may want to investigate outside the openSUSE forums for possible clues to your trouble.
<HS> yes, it's a detailed bios, but with somewhat curious results. The default bios config for drives makes it impossible to install... Windows (7, originally delivered with vista :-(()) There are 4 (don't remember) disk setup, raid auto (two options), raid always, legacy. problem is when you have two disks default is one of the raid auto option, that allows linux, but not Windows. I could install Debian jessie on the second disk with it. other raid option allows Windows on the first disk, but the second one can't be booted Legacy don't works with two disks So I had to validate "Raid always" (Same as my main HP machine) and wait at each boot the time the raid bios sees there is no raid :-(), then I can install anything. </HS> but this have nothing to see with TW (hopefully). TW install fails to find (NET install) at least some packages (many libwx_gtk... ones - I got some camera screen copies. boot works with grub, but then you get a lot of red [FAIL] to mount... for BTRFS subvolumes, and even /home. even booting with "3" (without X) don't succeed I now have the TW dvd, I will try to install from there, but I could install 13.2 without any problem. sha1 numbers for TW are broken, so i can't verify the isos, may be it's only a corrupted iso problem (but I doubt it) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Depends. If it only offers Grub2, then yes, without, and I install it later so that it can be chainloaded to. I never install bootloader to MBR. Most booting here is done directly from active primary partition with Grub that I install and manage. It does not get mounted ever to /boot. On some machines I use IBM's Boot Manager from OS/2, in effect always chainloading Linux, instead of using Grub on a primary. openSUSE's and Fedora's Grub2 has never been installed on any of my own machines. I tried Mageia's Grub2 once or twice before removing it. My only Grub2 installations are on *buntus and maybe a Linuxmint or two. Those installers corrupt the partition table, forcing me to delete and recreate the first logical after any time they write to one.
4-configure original bootloader to boot linux

Ouch!

you mean I can copy this and grub will download all what is necessary (with correct IP, of course)? but by the way this do not allow to debug TW install :-) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

net install, the officially recommended way fails with a lot of errors (package not found), kde do not install, xfce neither.
live kde boots and run without problem
the main problem looks like grub can't install, even with the minimal install (no graphical, no osprobe...)
the usual method of rescue (mount --bind then chroot) fails with chroot error
couldn't it be RAM issues? Have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I would also not recommend this as Leap is based on quite a different set. But if a snapshot of Tumbleweed fails you could use an older one or just 13.2.
[…] and by the way sha1 from this page
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation
or
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/
at least for 64 bits Net install do not fit
on the first page the link go to "current" and the iso links to "media", the sha1 are different and none fits the iso sha1

You are making the mistake of calculating sha1sum when it actually is sha256sum as correctly specified in the checksum filename as well as on the wikipage. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

This sounds like the kernel does not support the hardware. Without details one can just guess. Open a terminal with alt+ctrl+shift+x and run dmesg to check for IO errors.

So hardware should be well supported.. Sylly question but did you check the installation media ? You shold try with less outdated distro to see if there is a regression in newer kernel..

Not very helpful. alt+ctrl+shift+x works in the installer, check if dmesg contains IO errors. Or inspect /var/log/YaST2/y2log why some packages can not be installed.

of course! Stupid me I didn't think yast logged icluding during install.

By doing the installation once again, one the first error popup appears press ctrl+alt+shift+x and run 'dmesg | less -S', then look for IO errors. The initial dmesg output is /var/log/boot* I think.

Well... from TW dvd, minimal x install *succeed*!! I saved the dmesg content, just in case, but it's probably not worth sharing. I had a curious message in the install summary, saying that no place was selected for grub stage 1, but in fact extended part was selected, and I didn't touch anything. The osprober part was very long (more than a minute), but the starting menu is complete (and I have at least 4 systems on this computer) I will now use yast to instal more thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Use 'journalctl', without arguments you can just page around using the default less keys (/ ? & etc are handy for searching). It also does lots of nifty things, like narrowing in on a particular set of boot logs - 'man journalctl' for lots of details :) Daniel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

not in a failed install that don't boot. where is located the systemd message? if it is in /var/log/journal, this is empty jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
I give an answer to my question: I finally could make a successful install with the 64 bits dvd (20160105) and minial X install. Then I could add xfce, then kde we no problem other than having to change widows manager manually. thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
