My favorite system message is GRUB’s “bailing out, you’re on your own. Good luck”

An unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM.

In all seriousness the relevant bit of code is here:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/99ec1ed7c2ed358280588ab1d013387e8c7a9333/arch/x86/kernel/nmi.c#L238

Seems to be related to NMI SERR handling.

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

OP is not in the sudoers file.

This incident will be reported.

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
