Running from VirtualBox 5.1.18, it crashes before it even gets to the installer.
That may have been me fat fingering the boot menu. It's booting to the installer now. Where are you having a problem with it hanging at, @scottalanmiller ?
When things go well, it hangs unable to get DHCP. There is no static IP configuration option that I can find and it can't get to the web server to download itself so....
Ah well... I did the install from the Snapshot-20170320 iso image and didn't have any problems. You can do an install from only the DVD and then add the online repos after you get the system installed.
I have the netinstaller.
Do you have your network card set up as Bridged or NAT?
Yes. Ha ha.
It's bridged
Try it with NAT and see. I usually use NAT on my laptop and then ZT if I need access to the VMs from outside of my laptop.
-
Attempting it with KVM.
-
-
And no luck on KVM, it just freezes. Never gets to the point that it does anything. Just makes the bar across the bottom.
-
Did you ever go back and try it VirtualBox with NAT mode for the network adapter?
-
VirtualBox 5.1.18 on Win 7, installed Tumbleweed, no problems at all.
Used both NET-x86_64-Snapshot20170320 and DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170320, bridge and NAT mode. -

It doesn't freeze. I just ran the net installer. It took around 1-2 minutes after the bars went the whole way to bring up another screen on my desktop with 2GB and 1 core.
I ran it on my server and gave it 8 GB and 2 cores and it sped it up a little. That installer just seems really slow.

I gave it several hours.

Not sure then. It's installing right now from the net install media.

Maybe I have a bad ISO. Doesn't act like that though.

I did try Fedora 25 on KVM and that installed beautifully.

Ya not sure. It took a while and a couple packages failed and had to retry but it's running.

This is where I see it stopping on KVM.

Hmm. Do you get the same if you use macvtap over your NIC instead of the virtual bridge?

trying to install on debian stable with KVM using NAT, 1GB ram, 1CPU, 8GB disk
w/ openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20170320-Media.isoit is loading with the plymouth bar going on...
installer is autoupdating (C00l)... system is probed
checked additional on line repo setup date/language blabla
default partition ok
eula blablablaHEY we are stalling!!! please, wait... no OK ready to go!
setup user and root passwords...
confirmed installation, system partitioning, packages installing. SO FAR SO GOOD HERE!@scottalanmiller , try simplifying VM layout.
-
It's about as simple as it can get right now. Just the most basic install. Text mode.
-
If you do get it running in KVM, it's going to default to 16MB of video memory, which is not enough for KDE usually. Virt-Manager doesn't give you a way to edit the VGA memory. You can edit the
vgamemsection withvirsh edit <domain>. -
So I stopped using the text install and went to full graphical and... it started working. WTF
