I have tried to install Leap on my Gigabyte GA-B8M-D3H machine. In the past the only distros I was able to install and use were Windows 8.1 (a lemon), Windows 10 (somewhat better) and recently the latest iteration of Ubuntu - 15.4, 15.10, and their close relatives. I have tried both Tumbleweed and 13.2 without success but neither will install. It seems only those distros with the 4+ kernel will install on my motherboard. I downloaded Leap and got it installed but can get no further than the log-in screen because this cycles -loops. Leap is installed but there
appears to be a gilcth/bug in the log-in screen. I re-installed it several times varying the log-in screen settings with the same results. I have Gooled the problem but Leap is too new for any usable results. I hope this is enough info for some of you gurus to suggest a solution or work-around. Thanks in advanced unclerichard

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht Ende----- If you did install 13.2 you did install a 3.7 kernel. If you did install Tumbleweed from the current snapshot, you did install kernel 4.3. If you did have problems with both that indicates that your machine has no problem to install these kernels at all but that there is probably a totally other issue.
Gigabyte Mainboards are not really to be called Linux friendly.
I always buy Gigabyte motherboards (and always use AMD cpus) and have NEVER found Gigabyte m/boards to be not friendly to Linux distro of any flavour.
Sometimes they have hickups.
Or is more true to say that it is you who has had the hickups (sic)? :-)
For what is you problem, I do not understand what you say. What is exactly the "login screen" for you? Do you have more than one user, do you have automated login and it blocks while loading plasma? When you press Escape during the loading process, do you see any error message? What graphics card do you run? Intel? Try to start with the boot parameter NOMODESET Does that help? (Do you know how to put boot parameter?).
