Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I did a partial system upgrade when installing nginx without upgrading the rest of my Arch system. One of the things it upgraded was libssl.

    Turns out systemd depends on that.

    Turns out programs won't start at all if one of their shared libraries is missing.

    Turns out that if you write init=bash in the kernel command line, not even Ethernet connections work if systemd isn't running.

    I had to boot off archiso, chroot into my / partition, and run the system upgrade from there.
