OpenSUSE Tumbleweed will not run.

[loukingjr]

FWIW, installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed from the Gnome DVD but it won't run in VB 5.0.10. Then tried the LiveCD which also won't run. I should have tried the LiveCD first.

And the errors if any or log file?

[loukingjr]

Perry, sorry, I already deleted the VM. When it tries to boot there is a list of lines then it just hangs. It's using a Linux 4.3 kernel if that matters.

I could always download it again I suppose.

[loukingjr]

I downloaded it again
screen…

OK I see this as live cd

• 00:00:03.709261 VMMDev: Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from CD-ROM...

And it appears they pre-install the GAs ( I really wish they wouldn't because it causes issues with the official build ).

• 00:00:26.158778 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 5.0.10 r104061 '5.0.10_SUSE'

With that said, how long did you wait? I mean the log show less than 2 minutes but what about the original install/test? I have seen this take as long as 5 to 10 minutes to complete and I believe it has to do with their guest additions not being able to start. The fact that you could install it but not run seems to be the indication to my theory.

[loukingjr]

Well, I didn't wait 5 to 10 minutes.

I did download the LiveCD because the DVD is >4GB so I didn't feel like waiting. It did install from the DVD but I get the same screen. I'll start it again and see what happens.

[loukingjr]

Tried booting the Live CD again. Waited 11+ minutes. nada.

[Perryg]

I'm downloading the DVD now and will see what is going on.

[loukingjr]

danke. I don't really care. I was just testing and felt like trying it. OpenSUSE 13.2 works and Leap 42.1 works except for some reason when playing a video in VLC a new screen opens. lol anywho.

[Perryg]

Well there is definatly something wrong with this build of tumbleweed. I did manage to remove their additions and install the right ones but that did not help. I did some more checking and from what I can tell their branded version of gnome is where the OS stops responding after a lot of retries. So bottom line is this is going to take some time to debug but I feel it is on their end and probably will be fixed sooner or later.

[loukingjr]

thanks for checking. I figured it was something they did but just wanted to make sure.
