I was interested in trying out openSUSe and tried to install it on my third drive:
on my first and second attempt the install failed with an error that the creation of the efi Boot partition failed
something along the lines of:
execution of command /usr/sbin/shim-install failed no space left on device
(i tried both manual and automatic partitioning)
i then tried to install fedora on that disk, just to see if something is wrong with the disk (or my skill) and it worked without a hinch.
after that i tried it again with tumbleweed and it seemed to install just fine.
but when i tried to boot it didn't work,
it just showed a black screen with a blinking - for about a minute before rebooting.
i gave up after that.
is there something that i might have missed during my install,
i thought that openSUSE has a great reputation.
system is a ryzen 7 with an rtx 2060,
on an ASRock mainboard with secure boot deactivated.
disk is my old 250gb samsung 840 evo
How did you set up your install medium, @Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de?
Recommendation is to use one of the installer images, not the Live tester. Also, I think using Ventoy has caused problems in the past for some.
i used the offline installer images with ventoy ill try again with a stick i directly installed it on
apparently flashing the stick directly did the trick,
thanks for the help
Glad to hear it. Hope you enjoy the distro!
