How does this happen? Boot loader and OS on separate disks, and the OS disk has failed?
Oh sweet summer child. It used to happen all the time
Welcome to
GRUB, I love youAt least they’re doing one thing right.

Welcome…
To zombocom…
I miss zombo.com
I hope they can restore the original
In the meantime
I wonder how many non tech people thought it was their new slogan.
I was thinking that for a quarter second until I read the second line. :)
A quarter pounder second?
A Royale Second (with cheese) in the civilized world
at least it’s linux
Likely, but not necessarily. The grand unified bootloader boots a great many things.
There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your man pages.
Kind of weird how GRUB is “BURG” backwards…
GRUB UR KING
BURG stands for Boot UR GRUB
And GRUB stands for GRand Unified BURGer
No, that’s definitely GRUBER

Threre used to be a fork of grub called burg. They lost a great opportunity there
Welcome to Gruber Gnu, have it your way
Surprisingly this is not actually an inappropriate thing to display there, seeing as they do indeed sell grub.
Welcome to Fight Grub!
…so linux crashed and rebooting here?
Errmm. I’m told that Linux does not crash.
While mine hasn’t technically crashed, it’s gone through a tough time with my previous (faulty) CPU, freezing solid and the graphic environment shitting the bed randomly, several times a day. That might still get you to a GRUB screen.
You have been told wrong. I’ve been using Linux for about 20 years now, and while it doesn’t crash as often as windows, I’ve certainly had my share of Linux crashes.
The advantage of Linux is that it crashes. Then it reboots. Windows doesn’t crash. It stalls out for 30 minutes. You reboot it manually, and it launches in 40.
Maybe there was a power outage. There’s a good chance this is in the US of A. Maybe a geoguesser can confirm the location.

The Internet always delivers
Thanks.
I started tinkering with Linux 9 years ago. I have compiled a driver into the kernel that caused kernel panics. But when using out of the box distros I don’t recall having a crash that needed reboot. I’ve had a couple of lockups that were solved by changing to an alternate tty login and restarting the display manager, or doing a forced logout, but not in several years at least.
I was using Linux and Windows for work, they stopped offering the Linux application I used, so moved to Windows for work only. Its hella janky most days, I can’t believe Microsoft thinks this is a mature operating system.
I can’t believe Microsoft thinks this is a mature operating system.
I’m not sure they think that. At least not all the engineers. Management maybe. But they do sell it as such.
Likely a dead storage medium
I’m just glad it’s not Windows.
Is that in India?
Arizona actually i think it’s in el mirage maybe off northern or olive
That’s a Surprise. Oh wait, that’s the next town over.
Someone else in this thread said Sun City. You guys should fight about it. I will watch.
I wanna say it’s gotta be like two or 3 miles southwest of the US 60 and Peoria I drive for Uber and I go past that like every few days and every single time I laugh at it. Not sure if that’s technically Sun City or El Mirage but it’s gotta be like right on the edge of each. Pretty sure it’s like 3 miles east of that Quiktrip that I always take a shit at.
The other commenter put an actual address. But it sounds like you guys are pretty much agreeing. Which means I don’t get to fan the flames of an internet fight.
It’s also kind of amazing to me, with how small lemmy is, that there’s someone who drives by this place regularly.
Oh right it’s on grand ave I.E. us 60. I was close and it’s definitely right down the same street from my favorite toilet
You almost murdered me just now with a tuna fish sandwich.
