minus-square@utopianfiat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish14•1 year agoI imagine if you can mount from a busybox possibly
minus-square@grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 year agoThen figure out the correct perms.

minus-square@LrdThndr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•1 year agoBoot from a usb stick, mount the fs, use the live environment’s chmod command to fix stuff.
minus-square@nixcamic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•1 year agoI think you’ll need to change passwd and shadow, maybe a few other files, but besides that it’ll mostly work.
