Hi Carlos,
I installed the nVidia driver via instructions here: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
I rebooted the computer after the driver installation and it still only boots up to terminal. I still have to use sudo startx to get the graphics to start, and it still only comes up in 640x480 with no other options.
The 15.3 iso that I have installed is Alpha. I see that Beta has just been announced. I wonder if it would save time to try to download and install Beta to see if magically this problem goes away with the new improved software, before I spend a lot of time troubleshooting it.
By all means, do :-)
This installation of 15.3 that I have written about is what I will designate InstallationA. I thought that maybe I had goofed something in the partitioning, so that is why I wrote all the stuff about the partioning designations. The other installation of 15.3 that I have on this computer, I decided to let openSuse do all the work of installation. I will call it InstallationB. It has btfs partitioning and opensuse made all the subvolumes on the single partition to which I installed it. When I try to boot it, it doesn't even get to terminal. It says
error: no such device (numbers blah blah blah) error: file /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.10-46-default not found error: you need to load the kernel first
Huh.
press any key to continue
So the point of writing this is that for some reason neither installation is working, and I am wondering if it would save time just to move on to Beta before trying to fix something that may have already been fixed. What do you think?
I would certainly try the Beta. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
