Kubuntu does not boot properly(very slow) after increasing the size of root partition

  • 772

After resizing the root and home partition kubuntu is not booting properly, I googled it and found out that it may be due to the change in position of my partitions but I don't know how to fix it, The boot.log is available here:https://pastebin.com/NDRpuyEH (Output Updated with better formating)

The output requested is posted below

resize boot partitioning kubuntu

    Partitions are normally mounted by UUID as UUIDs do not change. But if you delete & recreate a partition like swap, then it gets a new UUID and you must update /etc/fstab with correct UUID. Others can have similar issues with any other partition they mount. But if / (root) system would not boot at all.

    To see UUID of partitions:

    sudo lsblk -f

    And to see UUIDs used at boot to mount partitions.

    cat /etc/fstab

    If any partitions in fstab have UUIDs not shown by the lsblk -f command, you need to edit fstab. You need sudo and can use your favorite editor. Always good idea to backup old version.

    sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
sudo nano /etc/fstab

UUID=c82e3e5c-866b-4a16-9153-a73129281e82 none            swap    sw              0       0

    Change above to, you can change comment on sda7 to sda8 if desired:

    UUID=dc2cd463-e46e-4cbd-b14f-ed811bf6526c   none            swap    sw              0       0

    New versions of Ubuntu do not have to have swap partition. They now use a swap file by default. But will use a swap partition if found. Also most desktops do not need /boot as a separate partition. It becomes one more partition you have to manage to make sure it does not fill up. But Ubuntu now only keeps two sets of boot files, so less of an issue than before.
