Public bug reported: ### Issue description When restarting my machine, cryptsetup waits forever. Waiting for the swapfile. Unable to start Ubuntu at all. Error message is:
``` cryptsetup: Waiting for encrypted source device /swapfile... ``` ### Steps for reproducing the issue 1. Do a fresh installation of Ubuntu, unencrypted. 2. Later, due to restrictions at work, encrypt Ubuntu POST installation accordingly to this article: https://jumpcloud.com/blog/how-to-encrypt-ubuntu-20-04-desktop-post-installation 3. Reboot, all works fine, but ... 4. Later, after a couple of months, install a new Linux kernel and then ... 5. Upon boot cryptsetup gets stuck, waits forever. See attached photo. ### Additional info I've found a temporary, painful workaround by rebooting in recovery mode and running this command every time: ``` sudo update-initramfs -u -k all ``` Then I can boot again. But I have to do this every time. Why? ### Debug log Hard to say but here's the output of this command `journalctl | grep crypt`, not sure if you can find anything interesting about it: ``` Apr 21 13:48:28 M1 audit[179547]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="getattr" class="file" info="Failed name lookup - disconnected path" error=-13 profile="/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer" name="home/.ecryptfs/michael-heuberger/.Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWaKkF5ZO-vAFETGnoPriOb55KN8iA.SprD0W8LFNkfXu75b-QusjTdAA---/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FXaKkF5ZO-vAFETGnoPriOb55KN8iA.SprD0JjExLlqv3Fk6x4GGYcQdjXda2554lHGsMAmCwjYZWGA-" pid=179547 comm="evince-thumbnai" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 Apr 21 17:01:49 M1 gdm-password][219451]: pam_ecryptfs: pam_sm_authenticate: /home/michael-heuberger is already mounted Apr 21 17:26:59 M1 systemd[1]: Requested transaction contradicts existing jobs: Transaction for plymouth-quit.service/start is destructive (dev-disk-by\x2did-dm\x2duuid\x2dCRYPT\x2dPLAIN\x2dcryptswap1.swap has 'stop' job queued, but 'start' is included in transaction).
