Systemd random error messages during boot time.

I have silent boot turned on, after package upgrades recently I noticed that I am getting error messages when system boots. I checked by running

    journalctl -p err -b

and I am unsure what is causing all these error messages.

Re: Systemd random error messages during boot time.

As are we.
Paste the entire

sudo journalctl -b

- you might be booting an old kernel, but there's no way of telling.

Here is the output of

journalctl -b

Here is what uname -a gave me

Re: Systemd random error messages during boot time.

I'm having this issue with snapd in combination with systemd 242.x. Since I don't want to spend time on debugging now I just rolled back to systemd < 242 to get rid of this.

I've uninstalled snapd and apparmor and still have these issues. Having trouble pinpointing the issue. I'm running zfs on root, that might be a thing. Seems like filesystem isn't fully accessible during these unit startups
