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.

I still remember when I tried to run a binary on a different architecture and got the message: "Bad elf magic"

Okay guys it's fixed! I had to reboot into an older kernel, that did it. I was kinda panicking, cuz i have to use it for work.

You and that kernel were both panicking!

Update: for anyone who's having the nvidia suspend issue and finds this post. Apparently turning off OS prober in the grub config fixes that. Good day, and keep practicing the magic!

Hahaha good one. I'll look it up in the ancient penguin libraries.

More context please: What happened? What were you doing? What does you setup look like?

It's an acer laptop i5 GeForce mx 130, basically I updated the linux firmware and put it on suspend but nvidia GPU did it's thing and it didn't wake up from sleep. So I has to power it off directly and it booted up to this.

From the looks of it, grub is grumpy. Do you get this after choosing a boot option? If so, can you try choosing recovery vs regular boot? If not, you may need to get a live USB plugged in and reinstall grub.

Edit: on further searching, this might be a zfs error. Are you using openzfs?

Thanks it's fixed, i booted into an old kernel.

IDK but it was my fault, I was a noob and was trying to run Ubuntu server from live usb with one (1) month of Linux experience, at least I experimented Idk, that's the point I guess.

at least I experimented Idk, that’s the point I guess.

That's absolutely the point.

I've done most of my learning after messing up my system (or at least learnt the lessons that stuck the most).

First you need to put on your robe and wizard hat.

That's for when the world is in danger. This isn't a serious enough issue for that.
