I just wanted to know how bad Lead really is and end up here

NB: I was on the wiki page for Lead to read about all the fun things it does to your body and end up on this page. I don't know if I would have noticed anything off about this article without this note at the top, but something sure seems off about it. Either that, or scientists really did come up with this theory in 2025.

If this violates rule #6 too hard I'll remove this post.

[SOLVED ]My Linux won't boot anymore because it can't find the boot drive?

Solution:
Thanks to [email protected] for bringing this up. The solution from this thread actually works: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/a-start-job-is-running-for-dev-disk-uui-running-for-5min/80783

tl;dr: force_drivers+=" uas usb_storage xhci_hcd xhci_pci " is all dracut needed

Original post below:
Alright I'm at the end of the rope with my Linux knowledge. So I need your help.
I'm on EndeavourOS and just recently upgraded to Linux 7.1.5, all upgrades thus far have been without issue. I am dual-booting but have Linux on its own SSD, and grub handles booting into Linux or Windows.
Now, after booting into Windows and back into Linux, Linux won't start.
The error:
A start job is running for /dev/disks/by-uuid/

Let me tell you what I've already done:

  • Regenerate mkinitrd with dracut
  • Regenerate grub.cfg and verified via diff it is identical to the current one
  • On a live usb verified that the UUIDs in the grub and fstab files are correct using the KDE partition manager (they are)
  • Verify on a live usb the SSD still works (data and everything is still there)
  • Changed the grub boot option on boot to check that the UUID is not hardcoded somewhere and can be changed (this is true, inputting a garbage UUID changes the boot error to A start job is running for /dev/disks/by-uuid/garbage-uuid

One last idea I had was to drop myself into the dracut emergency shell and actually check what's actually under /dev/disks/by-uuid and lo and behold: it's actually missing the drive.

Here's whats nuts tho: grub loads the drive by UUID as well, loads the initrd, and all that works. When I regenerated the initrd with dracut I could also tell that grub was now loading the newer initrd.

WHAT THE FUCK???

Help?

At this point I REALLY don't know wtf to do. Why doesnt the initramfs detect the drive? The only useful info I can add here is that all drives listed under /dev/disks/by-uuid had that shorter UUID with no dashes like ABCD1234, whereas the UUID for the correct drive/partition is the longer type UUID like abc1234-1234-0000-defg ___

The weirdest issue I've fixed so far

Alright so I been daily driving Linux for a couple months now and it’s been pretty smooth going.
Today I felt nostalgic and wanted to play Dark Souls 2. And it absolutely didn’t recognize my controller. This is the first time I had such an issue with the Steam Controller and I didn’t know what to do.
Tried the usual suspects but nothing, and i had to give up. I tried googling, found no results, uninstalled. But I wasn’t happy, so I googled again and found the solution.
Apparently my Keychron keyboard is the issue? So quick exception added and it works. Still wondering why this isn’t an issue in any other game tho…

My first complete failure

I still haven’t drawn much but this is the first one I’d consider a failure. I found good references and spent a good chunk of time sketching it out, only for me to realize the acrylic for the background immediately covered the sketches so I had to draw from memory.
Plus I then realized my sketch was much smaller than my brush. All in all, total failure. Couldn’t even figure out how to make the background interesting so I just splotched trees in there.
Still sharing it tho because that’s how you grow, right? :3
