Bizzare Easter Egg
  • Ok, so I've installed the LXLE before, but this time I opted to include the third party software and drivers as well. During the installation, the screen locked, and a message saying "Fat's loves Madeline" popped up.   I was able to continue by hitting enter key. 

    Whatt??   Do you think I should blow it away and reinstall, or is this a known inside joke?
  • 2nd issue.  System boots only when I attach the ssd through a sata to usb converter.  When I try to boot it directly as a plain old Sata drive, the system doesnt see it.
  • The second issue sounds like you don't have the BIOS boot order set up, I am assuming you are running a multi-disk system?

    Also check the /etc/fstab file, I manually edit mine to mount all the drives partitions. I gather all the UUIDs and this is an example of my setup.
    --code follows--
    # / was on /dev/sdc2 during installation
    UUID=820883d8-a811-4c0d-b372-75ece3d293c7 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
    # /boot/efi was on /dev/sdc1 during installation
    UUID=BBCE-0B03  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1
    # swap was on /dev/sdc3 during installation
    UUID=de57c833-66b0-4cbe-ab7c-a0139e4fe68c        none            swap    sw              0       0
    # below this point I set all these by hand. Above is set up by the system on install.
    UUID=6d94e93d-b1b9-430a-b840-04b8dc93eb7e        /media/sysop/Emporium    auto    auto,nofail    0    0
    UUID=9f844768-0d79-45b4-acec-d72d59e82c4b        /media/sysop/Chamber    auto    auto,nofail    0    0
    UUID=39ebe1de-1beb-4c6e-9365-25f3778eceeb        /media/sysop/Dominion    auto    auto,nofail    0    0
    UUID=45062a05-f00b-42c7-9f4a-f56ab4edc7db        /media/sysop/Galaxy        auto    auto,nofail    0    0

    --cut here--
    Chamber and Dominion are on the same 1 TB drive, also my oldest drive. Emporium is another 1 TB drive used as my file server. Galaxy is a 120 GB partition on a 250 GB SSD. The same SSD, I have the OS, swap and efi boot.

    The first issue, is the screen locker, locksnap seems to have humorous quotes attached to the application.  I don't use the app and disabled it after install. 

    You can find the locksnap bash script located in /usr/local/bin The app called fortune is a program that summons the random phrase. You can open terminal and type fortune to get various random quotes and proverbs.
