I'm helping a friend troubleshoot his Dell Inspiron 3452 laptop. He used http://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html for writing the latest Tumbleweed netinstall ISO image to a USB key. He said upon first boot from the USB key, the entire system seizes up @ udev and that's all she wrote. The screen then blanks and he has to force it off. Has anybody seen this type of behaviour with these model laptops? Is there a way to get further output to find out what is going on?

I asked if he would try Leap to see if Leap gave better results. He downloaded the Leap network install ISO and it won't connect to the WiFi; it dumps him (i've seen this before with broken TW builds) into an ncurses interface where you have to manually enter the SSID name and password. Why doesn't it provide a list of SSID's to select from? Here's the information about the network adapter in the Dell:

# lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723] Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8739] Kernel driver in use: rtl8723be

Thanks All the usual checks were done? md5sum of the downloaded iso f.e.

IMHO you'd be better of in the forums, there's a sticky in the Network subforum. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
