It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform

Mission accomplished. Synaptic is awesome, plus I wasn't using Skype anyways.

Figuring out how to print...nobody knows how to beat it yet, some just get lucky

3D printers are easier to use than getting ink on paper and it's appalling

Network printer will change your life for the better.

I figured systemd is a 90s-JRPG boss with multiple phases taking over more and more of the screen.

You hold up a Slackware CD like some sort of vampires-and-faith-objects bit.

The shutdown button, a very anti climactic finale

[โ€“] over_clox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Who needs a button?

shutdown -s -f -t 0

Edited to include the missing -s argument

I did get it right. I literally used that command in a Windows activation hack.

[โ€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Start by using / instead of - like all other old build in windows comands then read the docs and find you need /p or /s or /r to tell it what to do

then /t 0 does nothing, /t 1 (or higher) actually sets and timer and implicitly sets /f as well

you'd know this if you had actually entered that command. Cuz that's the info it prints when you get it wrong

Make your own, and don't be so professional about it.
