abarbarian Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The Blue Screen of Death is a common occurrence on Windows systems, less now than a few years ago, but it still happens. Seeing one on a Linux system is like spotting a unicorn, not impossible, but highly unlikely. http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/Here-s-a-BSOD-Error-on-Linux-Thank-You-AMD-Radeon-478482.shtml?utm_content=buffer503d7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Just for those of you that thought the day would never come.

securitybreach Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Well he was using beta drivers and ubuntu, so understandable. That and unlike a window's BSOD, he could of simply switched to another TTY and fixed the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon James Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) i need more "proof"...was he REALLY using Linux when it happened, or is it just a picture of a BSOD that he claims was induced on Linux? Also, can't rule out the possibility of Photoshop. Ironically, this would PROVE he's wrong, as Linux users don't Photoshop, we GIMP!

I could create a mockup like his in minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atiustira Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Really like this post abarbarian Twisted part is I started on a 500mhz with 128mb ram and learned with Windows 98. I used to hate the blue screen of death. Because I didn’t know what it meant or how to fix it. Then I became a comptia certified technician. And learned how to fix and build the systems. Now looking at that makes me miss it a little. And that is way twisted! But then again the people I hung out with at yahoo groups reboot your PC, said half the fun was fixing them. Thank you for posting this abarbaria. I am smiling real big over here. And OMG securitybreach they do have a BSOD for ubuntu! http://linuxers.org/tutorial/blue-screen-death-screensaver-linux 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Crow Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Funny this topic should come up ,as I have just put together a tower to run Audacity. The only drive I could find in the junk was a 98 Fujitsu 20Gb. When I got it all together and the OS on . I put it in the recording booth . It sounded like a motorbike But it still worked . Absolutely no use for purpose :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Actually the worst is the Linux Blank Screen of death. You get it by installing the encrypted drive option, then select a Nvidia video driver and reboot into darkness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on which version of encryption you were using. Back then I was using TrueCrypt but now I use Radeon cards and dm-crypt with LUKS.
