Well, on comment#1 you can see OOM in action. So question is how much RAM you use? Note that for net iso it needs more ram than for full iso.

Good point/question, by default have always used (for simplistic test installs), just 1024 MB of RAM for the VM in the past. And did some more test runs, that if that is raised to >= 1280 MB, the install does work. And just out of curiosity, I thought that maybe the installer update might have been consuming more RAM as well, so tried another install (via the DVD) and with the NIC pointed to a non-DHCP subnet (to skip the automatic Installer update step), but even after configuring the NIC (with a static IP), it still fails with the 1024MB memory setting.

I think bigger player here is size of repositories as in net case it needs to be downloaded, including metadata and I know in TW we have that issue for long time as TW has more packages. And because here it also fails when adding repos I expect that it simply contain too many packages. So general recommendation is if you use minimal memory requirements, that use text based installer and full iso. Hi all, As Josef commented, the problem is most probably related to the amount of memory we need to keep the repositories metadata. And I guess that using the NET medium makes things worse. I checked the hardware requirements for Leap and Tumbleweed in the openSUSE page and it seems to be 2GiB (I have not checked for 15.2, though). Bryan, if you are fine, I will close the bug because I think there is little we can do about it. Regards, Imo |
Created attachment 858504 [details] ctrl-alt-f3 output Steps to replicate (on KVM hosts, tried on SLE15-SP3, openSUSE Leap 15.3 across multiple geos to access different CDN repo mirrors as well): Using virt-manager - Create a new VM with local install media - openSUSE-Leap-15.2-NET-x86_64.iso - minimal cpu/memory/disk settings - boot, Installation - using default answers (and it updated installer, given DHCP n/w settings) - accept License Agreement (Next) - Activate online repositories now (Yes) - left 4 default repos (Update/Non-OSS/Main Update/Main) checked (Next) and when doing "Add Repository: Main Repository" drops to text quickly and then back to UI with "An error occurred during the installation" Ctrl-Alt-F3/F4 screen capture will be attached
