I still remember when I tried to run a binary on a different architecture and got the message: "Bad elf magic"
That's for when the world is in danger. This isn't a serious enough issue for that.
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?
You needed to roll a 13, but you rolled an 8, that's why your spell failed, should work next turn.
There's actually a distro called Sourcemage with commands like cast/dispel/summon and packages stored in grimoires. I ran it for awhile on my servers. The command structure is quite fun.
So, I have been doing a system with my pc where I have a case full of different nvme ssds with different OSes on them. I might have to do that on one of them.
Have you thought about just running KVM on a machine and building out virtual images there? Then you don't have to swap hardware and you can reach them from your desktop through VNC.
Sure, but I prefer running bare metal also I then can move it around between various computers. Each one is used a regular system, just different purposes. So, running in a virtual machine doesn't make much sense for me. I'll use nothing but openbsd for a week, then I'll swap over to arch to play some games, then I go into gentoo or something else for whatever other task I'm feeling.
Gotcha! No worries, I just thought I'd mention it since some people don't seem to even know that's an option.
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.
This is really odd, I hit this same issue recently. Booting into an old kernel also fixed it for me. What distro are you using? I'm on Ubuntu.
Maybe it replaces the kernel during reboot. But since i powered it off directly, the magic disappeared.
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).
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!
