Literally this morning I started getting boot errors. It is telling me WBM can't find the boot file. But I should be booting into grub, so idk what to do. My boot order is Ubuntu, then USB. And that's it. And now I'm out of the house all day and can't do anything but sweat about it.
Reminds me, that I want to "fix" my install.
If you just want to get shit done sure just reinstall and you are good to go, but I see these issues as a learning opportunity and I have tons of free time so I try and fix my system for hours on end. Also it rarely breaks so not much time is wasted.
Broke my ZorinOS install by trying to upgrade parts of the OS by myself so I could run newer software and lived like that for months until I gave up and switched to Fedora
Hey, at least we have the option to fix things. My poor Windows friends end up reinstalling multiple times a year due to unfixable issues and bugs.
Considering I'd rather not spend the weekend troubleshooting stuff when I have my house to clean before returning to work on Monday, and a simple backup > reinstall will take me less than 6h at most (counting all customization and etc), I'll take a full reinstall any time.
Edit: Oh, now I reread that's about the early days. Would do the same though.
Wait isn't this the standard? Debugging can take hours, but it takes like 5min to reinstall
I normally troubleshoot for an hour or so. After that, I'm reinstalling. Fuck this shit 😂
Since getting a NAS I now think of everything else as volatile storage
The Windows way.
I once deleted my windows bootloader so even the "consumer windows" is not safe from us
It didn't happen THAT often before, but as a previous Windows user and restore point fan, Timeshift was a game changer. Don't have to tread lightly anymore. :D
Does it work with docker? I remember there were some screw-ups with docker and the author of Timeshift basically said "Docker's fault, not gonna fix that".
I'm honestly not sure, never tried using it inside Docker. But, I haven't faced any problems running it with Docker + compose installed and active in the background, everything (including Docker containers) seems to come up just fine after a system restore.
Obviously, I can't guarantee that there exist no edge cases or problems that I simply have not encountered yet. I'm mostly using it for my personal computer (development) and webserver (dockerized servers, VPN, Jenkins).
I don't mean inside docker, it used to have trouble with just docker being present, it was no edge case. Glad that it's no longer the case.
This is precisely the hampster wheel that felt like it led me to osx.
I still think that's a legitimate troubleshooting strategy. 😆
