If I leave the machine for a while and the exit the shell it boots, but with no swap.
I have not discovered anything useful that I can do while in the busybox shell. I have dited /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume to read RESUME=none as suggested in https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/a0whdw/failed_to_connect_to_lvmetad_bug_still_exists/ cat /etc/crypttab sda2_crypt UUID=91558a55-9299-492f-b3b7-324fa7d07396 none luks,swap,discard sda3_crypt UUID=04bbb9dd-9c3f-48c9-ad65-617c4030cd8a none luks,discard cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

On 30 May The Software Updater prompted me to update. Included in the update were initramfs components. I now cannot boot the machine. After decrypting the root file system, instead of being prompted for the pass-phrase to decrypt the swap, I get the message "cannot connect to lvmetad: falling back to device scanning". This repeats for a while until I am dropped into a recovery shell of some sort from which I cannot access the root disk. Blocker. My machine is unusable.
