OK at this point you're running into the GPT-swap commonbugs so you might go 
read all of that to see what applies to your situation. You can ignored the 
swap thing or you can # it out in fstab, systemd still activates it based on 
partitiontypeGUID.

No idea I don't ever use g-i-s, I give root and user their passwords in the 
installer.

Maybe you used one keyboard layout in the installer and you've booted with a 
different layout? That's all I can think of and can't help with it because I've 
only ever used default (U.S.) keyboard installs.

OK that's a bit of first day at the rodeo questions now! Pretty sure you can go 
back to the chroot and set a new passwd for root and user if you can't remember 
them.

journalctl -xb | grep -i swap
