  • lol can i login please

  • so you just produced a lot of "cannot remove: operation not permitted" error messages. /golfclap

  • echo "Goodbye cruel world"

    DUH.

  • lol is that dapper

  • Probably. I don't remember though.

  • @Adminyx yes

  • lol it wiped out the ls command

  • Wow, dude, that wasn't the best idea...

    At least you didn't think you had to do sudo. I mean, as long as your root, who has to do sudo. If you had other partitions on the computer and they weren't mounted they would still work.

    Wow though

  • use ubuntu 8.04.....

  • vmware lol!

  • Yeah, har har. I have real machines I could have used for this, but a VM is much easier to fix.

  • lammer

  • reboot to GRUB, 'e' on a Linux entry, add "init=/bin/bash" and change "ro" for "rw".

    Press 'enter' then 'b'. Type "rm -rfv /"

    ^^

  • what does that will do?

  • this will remove any files that rm can find. Making this from init prevents removing the files in /proc, wich results in more errors than necessary, thus slowing down the process

    You can go with the shred command too. Just watch out for the /dev directory because these special files may point to other partitions such as WindowsXP files installed on /dev/sda1...

  • This is just stupid. You probably can kill any system if you use a command to delete all files with superuser/root/admin rights. Any except if started from a live CD! Ha, ha.

  • Agreed, it was stupid. If you read the description, that's why I did it. Oh well, just a typical YouTube commenter, I guess.

  • What's a typical YouTube commenter, I wonder. I deny to be so. ;-)

    But you caught me, I overlooked the description. Now if that may be typical...

  • fine!

    that was the first step to move into Debian!

  • what did you do?

  • First command: "Goodbye cruel world."

    Second command: "rm -rf /"

    I don't recommend doing this on a system you intend to continue using.
