My favorite system message is GRUB's "bailing out, you're on your own. Good luck"

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 77 points 1 year ago

Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

This is the most confusing and awesome message I've ever had.

My favorite too.

[-] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 87 points 1 year ago

The PowerPC installers used to have a step where it would output something like "Blessing /dev/sda1 with holy penguin pee" loved that message :)

[-] circuitfarmer 79 points 1 year ago

OP is not in the sudoers file.

This incident will be reported.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 25 points 1 year ago

This was scary to me as a young guy learning Linux 30 years ago. Turns out it's not reporting to anyone. :)

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It in fact is reportet to the system admin. In that case you.

It's in a journalctl log (i think location is depending on distro)

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe if you have a local mail server set up on the system? Otherwise no way to report. :)

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Otherwise it goes to your /var/mail I believe. Sadly they merged commit lately that removes this message

It just printed into the system logs on my arch install(although this was a few installs ago... could've changed)

[-] kryllic@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago

Linus Torvalds gets those reports and puts you on the naughty list

[-] Dablin@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Now that's a grumpy Santa I can believe in.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

It reports it to you ( the system admin )

[-] circuitfarmer 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I think it's a holdover from earlier *NIX.

[-] musicmatze@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Santa is coming for that naughty person!

[-] vojel@feddit.de 66 points 1 year ago

I like when my system insults me when I do dumb things. This is why enabled the „insults“ option in my sudoers config.

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

I need to do this, I need constant reminders that what I'm doing is nonsensical.

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I'll need to do this. Is it just in the default sudoers file as an option?

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 48 points 1 year ago

Once, on bsd, I got, "you done messed up"

I destroyed the fs, so, to be fair, it wasn't wrong...

[-] ultra@discuss.online 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was my very first non-windows installation. Win98 (not SE) had just came out, and I was super frustrated with the state of the desktop OS. I thought, "there has to be something better than this shite". I got an old computer from a yard sale and an old HDD from goodwill all for around $10 (I didn't want my main computer to be the guinea pig), downloaded Caldera from some shady site, and started the installation process. Remember Caldera and how it was supposed to be an OS for the masses, supposedly working on current hardware? Well... Not my state of the art junker was excluded from that claim, I suppose, because it failed. I tried several other distros, but all failed. Hell, even Win3.11 failed. My friend told me that he got BSD running on his dad's old laptop (BW screen, manual toggles for the brightness and contrast, even had to be plugged in to work), because "you could run BSD on some tinfoil and gum". So, I figured, why not. Downloaded the IMG file wrote it to floppy, and started. I got it installed (yay), then started tinkering. I don't remember now what I did, but, yeah, I effed that installation up real good. Reinstalled successful, and just used it as is with minor adjustments to make it work a little smoother. I even got it to print on our brand new HP Deskjet 540 printer, something Win98 just couldn't handle.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 29 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry ntfs? Disgusting and I see your libfuse, you aren't even gonna mount it via NTFS3.

[-] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 29 points 1 year ago

Shit, all these linux posts make me want to setup one.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

You should definitely setup a Linux post post Linux installation. Make sure you check 'use entire disk' to rid your machine of any residue

[-] oldGregg@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

If he does I'll install linux too. As w can have a post Linux post Linux posting post Linux post posting Linux posting post the post posting linux

[-] clutchmatic@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

That was not the UNIX way... True UNIX way would end silently and have zero as $?

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 19 points 1 year ago

I always liked the "UNIX confirmation prompt":

Were you sure?

[-] clutch@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

After three minutes of nothing, caused by a command to remove the French language pack:

sudo rm -Rf /

[-] ik5pvx@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago
[-] 30p87@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

That message would require a printer, which one cannot miss if they finally got rid of it.

[-] kryllic@programming.dev 23 points 1 year ago

You enjoy Linux to freely use your machine. I use it to make the cow say funny thing. We are not the same.

[-] pokexpert30@lemmy.pussthecat.org 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And then there's the symfony console who tells you after each command "now get back to work" :(

[-] GustavoM@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ow. Now that is rude.

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

There's that really aggressive message from ssh in all caps that goes like "IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING REAL NASTY" when the fingerprint on a ssh host changes. Usually happens when I format or reinstall OS on a device that maintains same IP or address.

It doesn't say that on my system when I format with ext4. Is it because you used ntfs? Probably.

[-] danielton@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't get that with btrfs either.

[-] rez_doggie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I prefer the bb command

[-] biddy@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

I love GRUB's "Installation finished. No error reported." Its a small thing, but you need a confident voice to tell you that everything is OK.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
