Solution: don't hold the down arrow for 40 minutes

I had an old laptop do this some years ago and it was because the graphics card was broken. I had dual graphic card and found a way to disable the broken one in bios (dedicated one, could continue on intel graphics) but the computer was too old to reliably use much longer and it died even more a few months later.

WILSOOON OP ,

This one isstill perfectly fine, just has the brain damage of an nvida card

Check your video card

This is GRUB’s final warning before you dig too deep in the OS list. Never hold ⬇️ for more than 45 minutes. If you do, make sure you have punch tape with a bootloader available or you'll have to manually enter machine code instructions to get your computer back up.

Did you replace your BIOS with Minecraft’s texture files? Classic mistake, I’ve done it a dozen times! /s

That doesn't look like GRUB, more like GWYAGH.

As in you are seeing multiple boot entries? It's likely one entry per kernel version that you have installed. It doesn't happen often these days any more, but in some situations it's handy to be able to revert to a previous kernel if for example third party modules break.

WILSOOON OP ,

its per fedora version for some reason, and i dont think that such a fallback would even work since fedora removes the previous kernel core and most other garbadge from what ive seen

Successful_Try543 ,

I don't know about Fedora, but Debian keeps at least the previous version. However, that's about it. There remain only 4 (2 normal + 2 recovery) GRUB entries and the additional ones vanish automatically during the uninstallation procedure.

That looks like RAM corruption to me.

More like framebuffer corruption

Isn't that still in system RAM at this stage in the boot process?

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The framebuffer is basically just VRAM, corruption of it is likely when experiencing graphics glitches.

How does one accidently holds down the down arrow for 40 minutes?

@DosDude@retrolemmy.com avatar

Not sure. But he does have a down arrow imprint on his forehead.

WILSOOON OP ,

aang aint got shit on me

taladar ,

Not sure about the down arrow in particular but I have seen objects (e.g. a corner of a book) accidentally lie on a key at the edge of a keyboard before.

I once crashed gdm by accidentally leaving some object on top of my keyboard which depressed some keys for hours.

Cats do it on purpose, not accidentally.

Can you replicate it?
If you can, you can create a bug report. If not, it's probably a one-time thing where the stars alligned and the conditions where just right for it to happen.
