You're right. Clive sent me some lines from journalctl(1)'s output off-list. They include, cutting out some of the fields, 14:01:05 systemd-journald[328]: Runtime journal (/run/log/journal/) is 3.7M, max 29.9M, 26.1M 14:01:05 kernel: microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xa0b, date = 2010-09-28 ... 14:01:15 ntpdate[797]: name server cannot be used: Temporary failure in name resolution (-3) ... 14:02:35 systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-830fffc7\x2de2cb\x2d4b0 ... 14:02:35 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-uuid/830fffc7-e2cb-4b0a-b7fa-1b65198c 14:02:35 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Swap. 14:02:35 systemd[1]: swap.target: Job swap.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. ... 14:02:38 lightdm[1112]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_gnome_keyring.so): /lib/security/pam_gnome_k 14:02:38 lightdm[1112]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_gnome_keyring.so 14:02:38 lightdm[1112]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.so): /lib/security/pam_kwallet.so: c 14:02:38 lightdm[1112]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet.so 14:02:38 lightdm[1112]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet5.so): /lib/security/pam_kwallet5.so: 14:02:38 lightdm[1112]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet5.so Clive, once the laptop is up and running, albeit slow, does network access work? How do IP addresses get dished out on your network? Does your modem/router act as a DHCP server? Is it configured to only give IP addresses to particular MAC addresses rather than all comers? Do you know why it might be trying to configure a missing partition as swap space? What's the output of these commands? systemd-analyze swapon -s free -m grep -w swap /etc/fstab -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-07-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
