Shit must look dystopian to anyone who doesn’t understand what it is.
ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE THE DARK OBELISK OF TECHNOLOGY.
I bet there was a granny, reading it line by line and crumple about where the fucking apples at.
My supermarket uses Arch btw.
I’m sure they announce it on their loudspeakers when you’re in the store too.
Can a linux/systemd nerd explain what the error is? I know it’s a shutdown sequence, but I’m curious on the fault
It is actually a boot failure. Normally the kernel reads some config from the initrd (the bootloader loads initrd and passes it to the kernel - thanks dan) and then does a bunch of setup stuff, and then it mounts the actual root filesystem, and then switches to using that. In this case, the root filesystem has failed to mount.
Hardware failure is most likely the cause, but misconfiguration can also make this happen. Probably hardware though.
If its misconfiguration, an admin can reattempt to mount the root drive on /new_root, and then ctrl-d to get the init system to try again
ELI5: couldnt open C:/ drive
Edit: clarified what loads the initrd - as per dans comment.
These kinds of public errors are almost always a hard drive failure.
Why does this produce need a massive digital signage pylon?
The question is, why does it run on Linux and not Apple
Perhaps it runs on a Raspberry Pi?
Or orange pi. Banana pi.
The best thing I learned when writing this comment (because I know there are other fruity labeled pi computers) is that you can look up “other fruit pi” and actually find results. Semi-relevant ones. (I use ecosia, not google/bing/askjeves, so ymmv)
