Thanks Ralph.
Will try those commands when I've got the time to work on the desktop
machine wiyh no interruptions. Painting the porch while we have the
good weather! Lily is not worried as much now as she's got used to
switching on and doing something else before going back; only gets
annoyed when time is pushed for a particular email reply. Several high
profile exhibitions coming up in the next 2 months, one in Christchurch
and the other in London, but nearly there, only the mounting of the lace
(my job!) to finish off.

Hi,

swapon -s
You might need that to be /sbin/swapon
I think it worked for Clive as it stood. I saw some output this evening
that he brought along and the summary is /etc/fstab names a UUID for
swap, free(1) and swapon(1) confirm there's no swap configured, the UUID
is the same as the partition mentioned in the journal as not available
after a time-out, and over all userspace takes a bit more than three
minutes to become ready.
Clive, the command I mentioned to show all the drives and partitions by
their various names is ‘ls -l /dev/disk/*’. It would also be useful
to have the lines from /etc/fstab again that mentioned swap: ‘grep -w
swap /etc/fstab’.
So paste this on the troublesome desktop machine:
(
set -x
grep -w swap /etc/fstab
ls -l /dev/disk/*
) |&
curl -sSF 'f:1=<-' ix.io
