Boot Messages

[Oderus]

The following lines show up in my /var/boot/boot.log

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-b0e53458\x2d3b4b\x2d4b2f\x2da3f5\x2dba36913890d2.d evice.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-uuid/b0e53458-3b4b-4b2f-a3f5-ba36913890d2.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Swap.

I recently resized my swap, and changed the name of one partition. However, they both work and my pc does boot. My swap partition mounts just fine at startup but I think it is looking for my old partitions which clearly aren't there. At least, that's what I think.

Furthermore, just before SDDM, I get a message saying Root_Filesystem:clean, followed by a USB error I have never seen before.
Firstly, how can I mute the root filesystem clean message and have it show up only if there is a problem, secondly, determine this usb error I am getting and fix it.
I am not sure where the file is that logs these messages, if anyone knows.

Thanks in advance.


Edit: Here's my /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

When you resized your swap, the UUID probably changed. Either edit /etc/fstab and change the UUID to the device name (like /dev/sda6 or whatever), or open Konsole, type "lsblk", get the new UUID and edit fstab with it.

I posted my fstab above, and all the numbers are correct

The following lines show up in my /var/boot/boot.log...

What's that? My 18.10 doesn't have a /var/boot directory, nor any file called boot.log. system-ish logs are in /var/log. Does

journalctl | grep -i depend

show anything like those lines? I suspect you've got something non-Kubuntu starting.

I'm also puzzled by the text

dev-disk-by\x2duuid-b0e53458\x2d3b4b\x2d4b2f\x2da3f5\x2dba36913890d2.d evice

"\x2d" is a hyphen in ASCII, and it looks like it's referring to
/dev/disk/by-uuid/b0e53458-3b4b-4b2f-a3f5-ba36913890d2, where the "/" path separators have been replaced with hyphens, and hyphens with \x2d.

I dislike uuids, they're not very human readable. My 18.10 /etc/fstab is

Of course, I have to ensure the labels are set correctly, but it's well worth it IMO.

What's that? My 18.10 doesn't have a /var/boot directory, nor any file called boot.log. system-ish logs are in /var/log.

I assume that's a typo. I'm sure that the intended entry was /var/log/boot.log.

[oshunluvr]

Regardless of the above, it seems your system is either looking for a drive that doesn't exist or something else odd.

I would start by looking for that suspect UUID in grub.cfg

The command journalctl | grep -i depend output was literally nothin.
I would like to fix my fstab all nicely but I am not sure exactly what I am doing so I have not yet.

[Oderus]

nothing like that in my grub.cfg

[Snowhog]

In a konsole, what does blkid show?

As far as I can tell, the log has no errors after my most recend boot. So the problems I have now are.. just before SDDM pops, I get a message saying Root_Filesystem:clean, followed by a USB error. Is there a log for these? I just wish to quiet the filesystem clean one, but the usb error, i don't know

[Snowhog]

What is the 'USB error'?

[Oderus]

I would have posted what it is, but I don't know where to find the log and it flashes for just a second. I will take a photo.

USB 1-3: 3:1: cannot get freq at ---- and i cant read the rest because my camera sucks.

[Snowhog]

You can open a konsole (after logging in and the Desktop has loaded) and issue the command:

dmesg | grep "USB 1-3: 3:1: cannot get freq at"
