On the second one if someone typed just “y” I would print “Please read the damn warning”.

psud ,

I like the errors that strongly signal that the system was not produced by a corporation. They’d never get through coffee review where I work

cley_faye ,

And yet all of them indicates the actual cause of error. It’s nice to have a bit of fun sometimes.

Napain ,

i have seen many of these memes, is there a website or something where all these are collected ?

brian ,

Try removing essential packages from your system or unmounting /boot

TexMexBazooka ,

Is there a version of this with some pixels in it?

ysjet ,

Possibly, but I’ll just transcribe it here for screenreaders and people who can’t see through the pixelation:

What goes hard about the kernel panic one?

lseif ,

u cant make popcorn without some kernels panicking

AMDIsOurLord ,

Legend has it that in the dark ages, when DEC (Digital Equipment Corp) licensed ARM from Acorn for their StrongARM processors, they took Arm’s testing toolkit and ran it to find issues with their processor.

Now, ARM was a tiny division and only had developed their tools for strictly internal usage. It was never supposed to go to some huge and professional enterprise like DEC.

So when the DEC engineering team ran the tester, It shouted a SHIFTER FUCKED error right at them lmfao

DoomBot5 ,

Sacrificing children is pretty common in Linux

cowsay should be at the end of every script you run.

piefedderatedd ,

Can you insert Lp0 on fire as well ? :) https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/7306628

lp0 on fire (aka Printer on Fire) is a semi-obsolete error message still generated on some Unix/Linux operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix/Linux system.

OmnislashIsACloudApp ,

I love some of the dangerous upgrade commands too, my favorite:

hdparm --fwdownload-mode7 firmwarefile.bin –yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb

I’d like to add this one:


<span style="color:#323232;">Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 3.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
</span>

I get this one like once a week and it always makes me laugh. One day I’ll investigate

veroxii ,

I mean reason 31 could be anything. CPU 3 could be feeling a little tired, be pranking you, or just not be the brightest of the CPUs.

finkrat ,

Poor Tux, it’s a rough life

JATtho ,

BIOS/UEFI likely tried to fuck up the CPU, or hardware fault. NMI => Non Maskable Interrupt.

HeyLow ,

Can’t forget about “This incident will be reported.”

Fun fact! It gets reported to /var/spool/mail/root ! If your mail spooler is properly configured (and your SMTP relay is also configured to send mail addressed to root to an actual user account) then you will get these alerts by email.

sag OP ,

It got removed right?

BCsven ,

As SU type mail, you can read what meesages got sent to root@machinename

sag OP ,

Oh ok

21Cabbage ,

I first got that on a Mac in my school and actually got scared it was going to tell the IT desk. It didn’t.

gentooer ,

I remember not compiling the root filesystem in the kernel on my first Gentoo install, and being surprised it couldn’t mount root at boot.

JATtho ,

The first kernel I built was not entirely happy with the .config I had made for it. Only thing it could do was BEEP-ing in panic for any key presses. [insert noot noot meme]

XEAL ,

Argh not the VFS kernel panic!
