A AD screen that has failed to boot, it has been like that for almost 2 months! This screen is in the center of the city middle of the Metro & Train Hub. I'm not complaining though!

Edit: Fixed typo

I'll take a grub cli over a bsod any day

[–] SpacePirate@feddit.nu 9 points 1 month ago

Same! I have fixed grub many times and bsod and bsod are such a pain.

I much prefer seeing this... to the actual ads.

That doesn’t look like Active Directory to me…

Time to update fstab? At least they're on grub. 😅

Or the device (or its controller) has died.

Aren't these often being run from USB stick? Those dying iirc is a major cause of these errors

True. At least when they go off brand instead of SanDisk.

I've had sandisk stuff break too.

Well, as the Japanese say, even a dog (SanDisk) will eventually come across the stick* (malfunction) if it goes out for a walk (normal use).

*here, "punishment", "calamity" or simply "something bad"

We Czechs say "The jug gets used to bring water over and over till the handle falls off." More obvious.

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Am I right to assume, that even Czechs who are not chaotic neutral would say that? 🤣

The proverb is older than me, it predates plumbing.

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or the device was stolen. 🤣

Interesting though, that it goes on to check for a filesystem after(?) it has detected no device with that UUID.

Wonder if the boot device died. Behavior is in line with some NVMe failure modes I have encountered.

Harbor Freight has ventured into electronics…

Maybe the ad is for grub: Even if all goes wrong, you still get a shell to fix it. Not like other Systems :wink:
