[SOLVED] Device time out during boot

On my new arch install, I have been trying to get everything up and running, but I got stuck on this.  A device isn't mounting correctly (I think) and it causes a 90 second delay every time I start up the OS.

Timed out waiting for device Dev-disk-by\x2duu id-7798\x2d0C6B.device
Dependency failed for /boot
Dependency failed for Local File Systems
local-fs target: Job local-fs.target.start failed with result 'dependency'.
boot.mount: Job boot.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'

How should I go about fixing this?  I can't seem to find a solution that works anywhere else on the forum, although there have been a few posts with the same problem.

While I'm here....any suggestions for a desktop environment?

Please post the contents of /etc/fstab

Sure, tmux.

While you're here, please have a look over the sticked thread and our code of conduct to learn the 3 or more reasons why this question really doesn't belong here.

Re: [SOLVED] Device time out during boot

There are two obvious things wrong with that fstab.  One is likely a mistake and you should be able to see it immediately.  The other was most likely a redaction for unknown reason which makes this information nearly useless for anyone trying to help you.

First, fix the obvious duplication, then post the *actual* file contents so we can help.

Re: [SOLVED] Device time out during boot

You didn't get rid of the duplications.  But now that you've included the UUIDs you should be able to see that one of them clearly does not look like the others.  The parentheses in the first one would be sufficient to cause your symptoms.  It's unclear though whether that is the only problem (aside from the remaining duplications) as you have two different UUIDs for sdb1.  Which is the correct one?

Re: [SOLVED] Device time out during boot

That gets rid of the duplicates.  As to whether it's better, you tell me.  Does it boot without the error now?

Where is the 46FE-68BF UUID from?

Re: [SOLVED] Device time out during boot

I got the new uuid with the blkid command and a fstab example that showed me there was only one uuid per partition.  I just assumed the other uuid was for another purpose, so I had kept it.  It works now though, and it fixed another problem I was having at the same time. Thanks!
