Yesterday I bought an HP 15-AF070NG, which was very cheap. My avarice (it's not for nothing that the Roman Catholic church qualifies it as one of the seven deadly sins) was punished immediately because, when I tried to read the first DVD of openSUSE 13.2, the computer booted Windows in spite. Nor was there any possibility to access Bios because none of the usual keys, F2, F6 or F8, worked.
So I returned the computer to the store where I had bought it for trying out other models, also much more expensive ones, e.g. Asus, Acer, and I don't remember which others. But I did not find any that booted from the openSUSE 13.2 DVD or granted me access to Bios. Eventually, I got my money back, thanks to God they were so generous.
On my opinion, Microsoft now has contracts with the computer makers obliging them, not to give any possibility to the costumers to run an operating system different from Windows.
Do you know any remedy or work-around?
Thank you in advance, Wolfgang Müller
Hi HP's are always F9 for boot menu, F10 for BIOS, F11 recovery. The later HP's have a custom option to boot, so you can point it to /EFI/opensuse/shim.efi for example and set the custom option first in the boot order if you multi booting. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 | GNOME 3.10.1 | 3.12.48-52.27-default up 4 days 6:56, 4 users, load average: 0.20, 0.29, 0.27 CPU Intel® Core i3-3227U CPU @ 1.90GHz | GPU Intel® HD Graphics 4000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
