I have Fedora dual-booting with Windows 7 on a stand-alone (no internet) laptop. I've been able to boot into Fedora for several months, and since it's not connected to the internet, there have been no updates to cause my problem.
Recently it has failed during booting. The leaf logo with the "f" completes, then it dumps to a text screen with:
Cannot open font file True
Welcome to emergency mode. Use "systemctl default" or ^D to enter default mode.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue)
I've logged into root and applied the fix given in comment 23 at the bug report:
For the third file, I made the change. For the first file, I couldn't find True used as a font anywhere. For the second file, i18n, it only had the line
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
I tried leaving it alone, and also tried adding the line
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
I then ran
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
but I still get the same error, and get dumped out to emergency mode.
Is there anywhere else that a font might be set to True? Where is that "True" still hiding?
The Fedora version is the Scientific-KDE spin, with the only mod from the download is to add TrueCrypt. It's Fedora 17, 64 bit, I think kernel 3.3.4.5.

Just manually change True every place it is used as a font name in the following 3 files: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /etc/sysconfig/i18n /etc/default/grub Typically it was latarcyrheb-sun16 on most systems. |
