[Samsung N130] Occasional "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present" on system startup

[TomaszChmielewski]

On a newly installed 11.04 on a Samsung N130 netbook, I occasionally (i.e. every 5th booting) get the following message displayed during startup:

The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

When it happens, when the boot is over and I log in, sometimes (not always), swap is not mounted.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

This happens on my system as well. It would be good if you could run 'apport-collect 798086' in a terminal so I can have a look and check for similarities.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

Asking on #ubuntu-devel it seems that if this happens occasionally then it's not a bug, just a timing thing.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in dianosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 798086

and then change the status of the bug back to 'New'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Same problem on my System so i created a report.

[peterzay (peterzay)]

I have this bug with Ubuntu 11.10 and it is also intermittent. I just wait and it boots.

See attached screen shot of Gparted. Note that swap (/dev/sda5) is unknown.

This post is coming from a session that booted with the bug message. I will run apport-collect 798086.

[peterzay (peterzay)]

Here is the Gparted attachment.

[peterzay (peterzay)]

Here is a screenshot of the system monitor. Note the swap utilization.

The Gparted unknown status may be due to an encrypted installation.

Is there any word on this issue being fixed or having a patch implemented into version 13.x Ubuntu? This bug is really frustrating Lol! I used Windows OS for years and hated all the quirks, updates, viruses it attracts and finally decided to switch to Ubuntu to avoid all that.. and now there's issues right out of the box after installation. :( I'm no linux professional either, and most pros on support forums give vague replies, shoot command lines to run that goes over my head...Most hear the "selling point" of Ubuntu as being more stable and such than Windows, but I'm not so sure now Lol! Was going to drop Ubuntu for Linux Mint, but apparently that has same issue as well. >_<. I'd hate to go be stuck on Winblows OS again.. gah! :P Come on crew, make me/us noobs and soccer moms proud. :)

[penalvch (penalvch)]

TomaszChmielewski, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

[peterzay (peterzay)]

Problem still persists intermittently (as usual) on Ubuntu 13.10 installed to HDD.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

peterzay, so your hardware may be tracked, could you please file a new report (not apport-collect) by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Thank you for your understanding.

[peterzay (peterzay)]

I do not wish to modify my 13.10 installation of the HDD.

If I liveCD boot the current daily image of 14.04, then ubuntu-bug linux, is that good enough for you?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

peterzay, that's fine.
