Installation of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

OpenSUSE offers two versions: Leap and Tumbleweed I have been using Tumbleweed for a long time now, and therefore have tested the scripts on Tumbleweed. The scripts may work on OpenSUSE Leap but I cannot guarantee if the scripts will work flawlessly.

To install the OS, the following steps are undertaken:

  1. Boot into OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installer on a USB device

    1. It may need to be noted that, sometimes, the installer will need to download a newer version of the image. When it does so, the display shall go blank while the installer continues.

    2. To fix this issue, boot to the installation medium and highlight the option Install. After that, press e and after linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux splash=silent add the argument nomodeset. This should help in enabling the display during setup.

  2. Agree to the License, activate online repositories.

  3. Perform Disk Configuration: Select disks (I use LUKS2 + LVM and if I do not need to dualboot, I select Remove even if not needed option)

  4. Accept the disk changes

  5. Choose KDE Plasma desktop configuration

  6. Select region, setup username and password

  7. Bootloader options are as follows:

    1. Remove nomodeset from boot arguments

    2. Set resolution to native display resolution

    3. Set GRUB2 root password

  8. Set hostname under network options

  9. Under software selection,

    1. The following is set to Taboo -- Never Install:

      1. KDE PIM

      2. Games

      3. plymouth

      4. packagekit

      5. web browsers (by manually selecting Firefox, Chromium, etc.)

    2. The following software is selected for installation:

      1. yakuake

      2. vym

      3. okteta

      4. krename

      5. blog-plymouth

  10. Confirm and begin installation

  11. After reboot:

    1. YaST Firewall -> For zones public and external, mdns is included.

    2. Run the post installation scripts

    3. Customize themes and appearance

    4. Install Xen and KVM

    5. reboot again for changes to be applied

Note

If an option available is not changed, it means that the default value is used.
