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

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
| #!/bin/bash | |
| LINES=$(tput lines) | |
| COLUMNS=$(tput cols) | |
| declare -A snowflakes | |
| declare -A lastflakes | |
| clear |
