Public bug reported:
This bug report relates to a machine running 18.04, not the one I am
submitting the report from.
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.
