How to fix "can not open access to console the root account is locked"

How to fix "can not open access to console the root account is locked"

I recently experienced this problem, but I only had answers that did not help. Then, I was able to get a hint from the short opinion of the Linux Forum.

This problem is related to the change of the drive. If it is not properly reflected in /etc/fstab, such an error may occur.

  1. Download SystemRescueCD and make a bootdisk: https://www.system-rescue.org/

  2. FDISK and MOUNT

A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

Make your Arch fonts beautiful easily! This is what I do when I install Arch Linux to improve the fonts.

You may consider the following settings to improve your fonts for system-wide usage without installing a patched font library packages (eg. Infinality):

Install some fonts, for example:
sudo pacman -S ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation noto-fonts

Remove unwanted files from a git repo AFTER adding a .gitignore. The files will remain on disk.
## I just ran into this after initializing a Visual Studio project _before_ adding a .gitignore file (like an idiot).
## I felt real dumb commiting a bunch of files I didn't need to, so the commands below should do the trick. The first two commands
## came from the second answer on this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7527982/applying-gitignore-to-committed-files
# See the unwanted files:
git ls-files -ci --exclude-standard
# Remove the unwanted files:
git ls-files -ci --exclude-standard -z | xargs -0 git rm --cached
