Timed out waiting for swap

Dragin · 2024-07-11 01:10:34

Recently, my laptop has been taking much longer to boot. It seems to be attempting to load my swap space, and failing to do so:
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/[uuid].
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/[uuid].
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Swaps.

Note: I also have Windows and Pop!_OS installed.

Any idea why this could be happening?

seth · 2024-07-11 06:55:33

Yes: /dev/disk/[uuid] doesn't show up. It probably doesn't even exist?

Nikolai5 · 2024-07-11 09:24:00

What is the output of:

sudo blkid
cat /etc/fstab

When you installed Arch how did you set Swap up? Actual swap with a swap partition? zram?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2024-07-11 11:35:54

If this is on a GPT disk just delete the swap line from /etc/fstab.

"[uuid]" was just a replacement for the actual UUID, since it was quite long and I didn't think it was necessary to type it out, but the actual UUID is (according to my fstab file) 767c5917-c3f1-4b39-b621-72ae75b09867.

An actual swap partition.

From what I understand, fstab is just a list of partitions to mount/use, so wouldn't that just disable it entirely?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2024-07-11 15:19:02

Not for a GPT disk under systemd: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/sy … rator.html

Pop!_OS probably reformatted your swap, which changed the UUID.

Nikolai5 · 2024-07-11 15:40:00

UUID for your swap "c12b84ee-7a46-4873-990b-893229bba5ec" does not match what you have in /etc/fstab.

sorry for hi-jacking: does this require systemd-boot?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2024-07-11 16:02:49

No, it does not. The generator runs after the bootloader has finished.

EDIT: but you do need systemd in the initramfs if you want to omit the root partition identifier from the bootloader configuration.

sounds neat - gonna give that a try

seth · 2024-07-11 18:58:30

Otherwise use the correct UUID (c12b84ee-7a46-4873-990b-893229bba5ec)

I btw. got the placeholder thing, the reason why I was a bit snappy is https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 (and admittedly yours was not the only thread this morning in that regard)

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
Also in the future please use [code][/code] tags.

Ah, that makes sense.

I tried removing the line and it did not appear to fix it. It gives me the error "[FAILED] Failed to activate swap Swap Partition."

I also tried using swapon (sudo swapon -v /dev/nvme0n1p7):
swapon: /dev/nvme0n1p7: found signature [pagesize=4096, signature=swap]
swapon: /dev/nvme0n1p7: pagesize=4096, swapsize=8589934592, devsize=8589934080

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Also

fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1
lsblk -f

The partition table is ok, but I forgot that lsblk doesn't show the swap size…
Either way, run mkswap - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap#Swap_partition
I suspect you may have repartitioned the drive and that resulted in the different UUID and you probably also shrunk the swap partition?

Dragin · 2024-07-12 00:19:28

Thanks, that worked. I think that might break it in Pop!_OS though.

cryptearth · 2024-07-12 05:02:02

the solution is the same: clean up the fstab
as you have a linux running you can just mount the others os root partition

seth · 2024-07-12 07:01:39

Ftr, you can use "mkswap -U"
The swap partition should™ have been broken in Pop and everywhere else anyway because the signature was created on a bigger partition.
