Oh, so you fucked it up yourself.

This isn't the fault of the OS, this is user error.

Get out of here.

>>60465948
this is the second time i see this meme that BSD is an african american OS

is it new

i haven't browsed g in a couple o fmotnsh

>>60465956
How do i fix it?

>>60465843
Don't fuck with the fstab before making a backup, you fucking retard.

>>60465920
>I tried to edit my fstab file by accident and now my system is read only.
You don't try to anything by accident. You fucked up your fstab through ignorance. It wasn't an accident.

>>60465987
By using a live disk to edit the fstab back to normal on the primary drive

Really makes you think.

>>60465987
Your fstab was fine before, wasn't it?
Restore from your backup copy. You DID make a backup copy before editing it, didn't you?

>>60465920
> edit my fstab

you literally killed yourself

>>60465997
I was trying to put my second drive as rw.

>>60466010
I posted an screenshot of what happens when going trhough a live usb.

>>60466070
Is your liveCD damaged?
initramfs failing to unpack means that initial stuff loaded into RAM is corrupt.

>>60466118
Is an usb, not a cd.

JUST

>>60466143

Sorry, is your liveUSB damaged?

>>60466143
Remake your live usb and try it.
Preferably using a different usb.

>>60466163
No.

>>60466176
It's not something you can answer outright.
If something like a single bit flips on that usb then it corrupts the whole live usb.

Take another usb and blast a live image to it just in case your usb is dying.

Is it supposed to boot into kernel panic?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>60466326
>All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Or, as everybody except the person who wrote GNU calls it, Linux.

>>60466326
but he was referring to it as loonix not linux

wow did you try like running a live cd and manually mounting things like you want them and chrooting into your install and generating new fstab? if not its too early to make a thread op

>>60465843
Smells like you fell for the arch linux meme

>>60465843
Did you put "ro" option in fstab?

for blaming linux for ur own stupidity

"I was trying" and you failed.
Suck it up and learn from your mistake, don't blame anything other than yourself.
Just say "Hey guys I fucked up how can I fix this" and you might actually get help.

Damn must be tough being incompetent

Don't beat yourself up OP, one time I tried installing Arch for my roommate on his laptop, but I didn't really understand it at all, and I was kind of just winging it, ended up making it impossible to boot into his Windows partition, and didn't even install GRUB to the right place.

Luckily I was able to rescue his Windows system.

>>60465843
>Blames software for his own failing

>>60465987
Also try putting a different Linux distribution on the USB.

Well then you only have yourself to blame, don't you? Fuck of, you fucking retard.

hey guys, i was fucking with bootmgr and now windows doesn't boot
this sucks, i'm going back to gentoo

>>60465920
This is what happens when winbabbies are let out of their playpen.

>>60465987
if you are too autistic to fix yourself then boot up arch linux iso
mount your root drive to /mnt
mount every other drive you need according to /mnt being your root
run

genfstab -Up /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab

reboot

>>60465843
these are also threads originating from microsoft marketing

>>60465843
noobs should ubuntu ,elementary or linuxmint. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ARCH?

>>60476035
OP "screenshot" has the word "Ubuntu" in it though. I don't think that's Arch.

>>60474420
Do I need to remove fstab first before re-generating it again?

>>60465920

Good jump, OP
>it puts my root drive into read mode
What? How is it possible with GUI install?
>cant even boot my live usb now
Sorry OP. You need to boot back to Windows just to re-download the iso and putting it back into your USB stick. If it still persists, get another USB stick.
>Wow., what a great desktop os.
Always Google stuff before you step in. Please don't be a person that doesn't look on the road to avoid pitfalls
>I tried to edit my fstab file by accident and now my system is read only
OP. You just skipped several steps. What the fuck are you fiddling with sudo gedit?

>>60466046
No. anon. Use mount. You don't put your second drive on fstab. Geez, anon. You just made me re-assess your capability as a human.

>>60466928
In a Ubuntu from OP's screenshot. It's not Arch.

>>60476289
Uh... I put all my drives on fstab. Should I not do this?

>>60465843
OP let me put something in perspective for you. You've probably used Windows for YEARS and so everything you do in Windows comes naturally. Linux, you've never done what you're doing. And because you have a lot more freedom, you also will make a lot of mistakes. I've fucked up editing my fstab plenty of times but now it's like second nature to me.

I'm not sure what you edited in your fstab that would cause your mistakes, but general rule of thumb: Don't touch the root entry unless you have some really good reason to do so. It should generate that + the swap automatically with UUID. I've never had a distro NOT do that.

What were you editing the fstab for anyways? Might be a good place to start.

>>60476156
iirc no, but i doubt trying it to see what happens could fuck it up anymore. It should just overwrite it

>>60476469
Only if you have read lots of stuff about it in the first place. Just not to a point where OP screwed up fstab by himself on first try and cried about it.

>>60476477
He said that he wants his second drive to be rw.

>>60465843
These threads are started by microsoft shills to try and scare people away from installing linux.

I've installed a ubuntu and mint, it is genuinely easier and faster to install linux than it is to install windows. And it's fucking free.

>>60476185
everyone dumps a bike at some point

>>60477504
Alright, cool. I've never had an issue with it, but it doesn't hurts to make sure.

>>60476477

you dun goofed

>>60476312
You can mount, chroot and fix your fstab on any distro you fucking retard.

>>60477766
You sure you want a Linux beginner to do those three?

>>60477766
YOU might be able to, but OP probably can't.
