Hey I found my solution here https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/solved-boot-hang-job-dev-disk-by-x2uuid-no-limit/119111

hope this helps.

Thanks for linking the thread, I spent a whole day looking through fedoraproject threads, don’t know how I missed this one. Again thanks.

Hello I did as you advised and my system installed the kernel 6.9.4

Nothing really changed. Still hung at that same exact spot. Honestly the only thing I’d like right now is to know what Job dev-mapper-cl\x2dswap.device/start means

Still thank you for replying

Same error

Thunderbolt? No.

I have a second sata ssd which I mount as my home partition.

Sorry for responding so late I was busy at the moment.

I didn’t fully understand what you meant by " run updates until you get a 6.9"

Also what exactly should I be downloading and installing. The new patched kernel?

I’d like to avoid doing that as it could remove 6.8.9 as a boot option

I’ll update if it’s guaranteed to solve my issue.

I haven’t changed anything hardware wise and I haven’t changed anything involving partitions in months.

In kernel 6.8.9 my swap mounts perfectly I don’t have any idea what I should change in order to fix 6.8.10.

I didn’t realize I had it either, I’ll see what I can do to fix it tomorrow because right now, I’m tired and hungry.

BTW, thank you for your help. Your comments and explanations have been a great in helping me understand my issue and Linux in general.

I went into /audit.log you asked, I’m gonna be honest as a total linux newbie I have no idea what im looking at . I don’t really know what’s supposed to be an error and what’s irrelevent. This is the only thing that stick out to me

type=SERVICE_START msg=audit(1708923571.909:69): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=systemd-userdbd comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success'^]UID="root" AUID="unset"

ok here’s the output

So I did that and nothing different happened. I’m sorry to keep taking your time like this do you know of any place, like a Discord server or something, that I can talk with somebody about this in real time.

I’m probably going to give this issue one more day to resolve before I give up and switch to Windows 11.

I’ll do that but just to be clear this is my partition table

Heres what I got

root@localhost-live:/# ls -ld /home
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Feb 27 11:06 /home

root@localhost-live:/# ls -ld /home/adelie
drwx------. 15 adelie adelie 4096 Feb 27 18:00 /home/adelie

It’s all ok then.

So I ran all three commands including the one /u/Max_P gave. I then changed the fstab and rebooted. I still couldn’t login after that.

I then tried to login with TTY. it gave me the same error as in the post. I ran the three commands again and rebooted. still nothing

I logged in with my root account and ran the three commands again, rebooted and still couldn’t login. I then fixed the fstab and now I’m back here again.

just to be clear i ran chmod 700 not 755.

Anything I should run in order to check my system? I must’ve done something wrong. Maybe it has to do with btrfs?

I’d like to know what this command will do before I run it.

If you wouldn’t mind, could you please explain what these command will do.

Also I’m back in the fixed state should I change my fstab back to the broken state before I run this?

yes /home is 23, and /new_home is 24, what does this mean?
