We can close this bug report at this point. But I do appreciate the follow up! It turns out that there were two problems. The first was that 18.04 had misconfigured the cryptoswap so that was not working at all. I reported this separately before the release of bionic and I believe that this

I can confirm the default swapfile behaviour in 18.04 looks weird, but I don't know what the intention there is. Please log a separate bug for that if you think it's a problem that needs fixing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to

I've been studying the swap mess. It seems that the installer made a swapfile called /swapfile and entered the line in /etc/crypttab as: cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes- xts-plain64 which is the wrong, non-existent filename. So that seems to be an issue with

Thanks.  Your comments led me to look at swap.  There is no swap! I installed from iso image several weeks ago (I am traveling and had a bad ecryptfs corruption, not sure how this happened, and needed to reinstall, and had this on my memory stick for testing). I selected encrypted and had an

Come to think of it, some code might be returning ENOSPC ("No space left on device") for a RAM-based operation. So please also check how much RAM your system has before and after the problem (run 'free -m'), and check 'ps' to see if any process is unusually large. ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu)

"No space left on device" is coming up way too often in your log. I can't explain that but it is still possibly relevant since a lot of things are failing with that message. Please monitor your disk usage carefully, before and after the problem occurs again. And when it occurs again, please send

I saw that.  But the disk is far from full.  Don't know what's up with the /snap loopback devices.  The hard drive itself is at 35%.  Here's the df output: Filesystem   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 3.8G 0  3.8G   0% /dev tmpfs    767M

I'm still getting failures. This is with a fixed variety and no gnome- shell extensions other than the default ubuntu extensions. I don't see but reports similar to this, so I gather that others are not generally plagued by this problem. Nonetheless, I appreciate any advice or comment you have

Thanks.  That variety script was from an old version of variety, it seems.  I removed that and checked that the current scripts  in /usr/share/variety/scripts do not have that bug (looked like an operation on a shell variable that may not exist).  I did notice a few variety crashes, but they do
