Is this the right place to ask for help? Or is there another place? Anyways, feel free to delete this post if i’m in the wrong spot.
I use Pop OS on an Asus. Something has happened where i either have a 10 min plus boot time, or it doesn’t boot at all. I have reinstalled Pop OS twice (and used recovery mode) and even took it into a computer shop to see if there was something wrong with my hardware (there isn’t). When I first do a new install it will restart fine, but then it’ll be the next day when it will either take over 8 minutes to load, or it will be stuck on boot.
Right now it is stuck on boot. I can get into a live usb stick just fine. I have done systemanalyze blame, and it didn’t give me any helpful information. I have the same issue even if I try to press space bar and boot into an old kernel.
I should note that my computer has encryption enabled.
Any help would be awesome.
All hail the other linux noobs out there!
Check your disk usage with df -h
When my machine gets weird it’s always out of disk space.
Hit ESC during boot and watch the boot logs to see what’s hanging. Some systemd service is taking awhile and doesn’t have a sensible timeout. Probably network.
i was able to get into my old kernel and it says in the journal “failed to start application launched by gnome session binary” and then when i went into recovery mode it showed something about caspermdcheck service failing
"systemd-analyze blame didn’t give me any helpful information
And what exactly did it give you? Could you copy-paste the output of that command (also known as “stdout”)?
EDIT: It seems that you made the same post 2 times. Ideally, you should delete one of them.
Post mount, lsblk -f and cat /etc/fstab
