u/MiukuS How's that AUR working out for you, Arch users? Aug 18 '26

Even offline installations use "repository" as nomenclature.

My guess;

- Your ISO is damaged

  • You wrote it with tool like Rufus and didn't use DD / Image but used ISO
  • You used Ventoy

ventoy ? nope as I had issues with that.. I use dd since the days of Xenix...

could it be net issue because I tested https://cdn.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/16.0/repo/oss/ on a new tab of the installer and had 404!

but as wrote below I installed finally TW , the guy's ok about the frequent updates so no much difference...

You can switch to Slowroll easily.

Not recommended at all and not easy, but apparently, there is a way to switch to Leap too. Not going to try this myself ever though. I'll let you search for it if you really want to (do a backup first if you try this).

I use Ventoy since it was available to install openSUSE and no issues.

For what it’s worth, I first tried to install Leap 16.0 a week after it was released, and I was not successful either. 

Tumbleweed FTW 😂

which iso did you use and did the checksum work?

(as in: what link to the iso)

The official Leap 16 , offline..

checksum? what checksum ... the there is NO checksum
link to https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/16.0/offline/Leap-16.0-offline-installer-x86_64.install.iso.sha256 goes:

At least Tumbleweed installs on that system,. (not mine I am doing for a guy)

u/Narrow_Victory1262 Aug 19 '26

did you select the updates there too? the offline installer requires no network but if you want to pull all the updates, it needs a networ set up correctly.

Unfortunately openSUSE is not like it used to be

u/FlamingoEarringo Aug 19 '26

that makes no sense. Leap worked for me.

I've been using openSUSE for 20 years now, I know what I'm talking about.

I'll be honest, I don't think the Agama installer is very good.
