cannot install on a Thinkpad T440s #46

Closed vladbejenaru closed 3 years ago

vladbejenaru commented 3 years ago

wanted to install on my secondary machine to give it a spin, unfortunately the recognized display resolution is only 640x480 rendering the installation program useless: buttons are not visible... I have tried to reconfigure Xorg with no success. I have tried to connect external monitors on both DisplayPort and VGA again with no success. This is what, as a n00b, I could of think of.

I had no problem installing it in VirtualBos under Linux...

any ideas? Thanks

which iso did you install?

vladbejenaru commented 3 years ago

I have tried 2 isos: hello-12.2-RELEASE-429e5b7-amd64.iso and hello-13.0-CURRENT-429e5b7-amd64.iso. Should I try another one?

ericprd commented 3 years ago

For now intel graphics broken on 12.2-RELEASE and 13.0-CURRENT as in #1 . Try install 12.1 because it's work for my Thinkpad T440P

vladbejenaru commented 3 years ago

ok. thanks trying to download this and is not working: https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/download/12.1-experimental/hello-12.1-RELEASE-343958a-amd64.iso

any recommendations?

probonopd commented 3 years ago

The experimental ones should use initgfx to detect the GPU. Apparently it is not working with the T440s.

Do you have the version with Intel HD 4400 or the version with Intel HD 4400 + NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M (Optimus)?

vladbejenaru commented 3 years ago

The variant with only the integrated intel gpu I also do not find another 12.1 iso available. is there any other?

no luck... :(

1 time got stuck on the freebsd logo, 2 times restarted the laptop without reaching the installation screen.

Can you please repeat using the verbose mode?

vladbejenaru commented 3 years ago

Hi, it seems I was trying with the normal 12.1 release, now I have fire it up the experimental and I can boot (normally) into the installer. btw. can I dual boot with linux? Thanks!

probonopd commented 3 years ago

Excellent. Thanks for letting us know.

You can dual boot but you would have to do the installation manually, as our installer always formats the whole disk. We may change this once https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/61 gets implemented.

Happy testing!
