Boot issue (May be a bug)

I ran some additional checkups in this matter.

The printout tells us that the last thing in the screenshot previously added isn't true, right? Since I got that particular UUID right there - linked to ../../sda2

//Fredrik L

try changing the 1c801b98-d757-4203-8e51-6b1ffc5fb1f8 in /etc/fstab to the old school name /dev/sda2

May work

e.g.

UUID=f1c42e59-678f-4c90-9102-70d1e5e872c3 /home ext4 defaults 0 2

would become:

/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults 0 2

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. So do NOT just copy the above. It will NOT work.

I checked my fstab... but before doing something I need a confirmation

This is how my fstab looks like:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=1c801b98-d757-4203-8e51-6b1ffc5fb1f8 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot was on /dev/sda4 during installation
UUID=6acace05-d4c5-4ec5-a01d-705f9896acdf /boot ext4 defaults 0 2
# /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=4850678a-0b2c-40ca-9ce2-08ed1d04e5cc /home ext4 defaults 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=a3600b07-ac1c-4446-9893-2cd819e7f223 none swap sw 0 0

End of file

I can see that it looks quite strange it says "errors=remount-ro" at the first row - should i retype this to say "defaults" instead?

//Loofy

Then change

UUID=1c801b98-d757-4203-8e51-6b1ffc5fb1f8 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

to

/dev/sda2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

Should be ok

Ok I try this.

Since this does not happen all the time I will get back to this thread in about one week confirming that it has been "solved" my issue.

Thanks

cool beans, good luck.
