 Title text: And she put sweet nothings in all my .conf files. It'll take me forever to get X working again. |
Explanation
The boot sector of a hard drive is where the information for operating systems is stored, which tells the computer what operating system to boot into. If it is overwritten, an operating system stored on the drive can't be booted into.
The .conf files of Linux are where all the settings for various applications are stored. Since all the configurations were replaced with sweet nothings, none of the programs work as they should.

- I've been using Linux since 1992. It was a pain in the ass to config the boot loader, way back in the day. Originally you had to configure LILO by hand, after rawwriting the eleven install floppies. And the only window manager for X (14 more floppies) was Tiny Window Manager, uphill both ways in the snow. —Kazvorpal (talk) 04:34, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
Is this still an issue with UEFI boot? as long as the EFI Partition is valid I could write whatever I wanted to my lover's boot sector. 162.158.114.28 11:04, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- Just so long as you don't overwrite their LUKS header ... ask me how I know :( 172.69.34.146 01:14, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
