Hello all,
I have been pulling my hair out on attempting to install Leap 15 on an HP Envy bw0000na laptop (i7-8550U, 16Gb RAM, 1 TB SATA, GeForce® MX150). It is my intention to dual boot the existing Win10 with Leap 15. Thus, after the obligatory trip into the BIOS to disable the software guard extensions and secure boot, and enabling virtualisation, I downloaded the full, net and live Leap 15 images, then, one by one, stuck them into USB sticks via Unetbootin. None of them worked.
1. The 3.6 GB OpenSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-x86_64.iso got me into a black screen. After a bit of search I added "nomodeset" to Grub and that went as far as the software configuration page, after network and repository setup. Yast 2 said:
"Error: Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
Details: Storage::exception.
Caller: /mounts/mp_001/usr/share/Yast2/lib/y2storage/devicegraph.rb:153:in 'initialize'.
Start the Ruby debugger now and debug the issue? (experts only!) Yes/No"
It wouldn't go any further after that. I downloaded the distro twice, once directly and the second time via torrent, did a SHA256checksum (result: Ok, but also reporting that 14 lines were poorly formatted), and a gpg verification.
2. The openSUSE-Leap-15.0-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso attempt never got into the loader. It stopped at the initial 'Loading udev ..." point.
3. The net version loaded almost completely (indicating 99% at the bottom) but never made it into a graphical screen and got stuck there.
Could anyone please tell me what am I missing? Perhaps I should have have enabled the legacy support in BIOS instead?
If I can't install SuSe I'm returning the laptop.
Hope someone more experienced can help out.
Many thanks!
Enrico
