Public bug reported:
I have configured a separate /tmp partition, which is a LVM volume and create
at boot via an /etc/crypttab entry
vol-tmp_crypt /dev/mapper/vol-tmp /dev/urandom
cipher=aes-xts-plain64,size=256,tmp,discard
and mounted via an fstab entry
/dev/mapper/vol-tmp_crypt /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
At about every third boot /tmp is not mounted and then gnome-shell cannot
start, because it is not allowed to write in not mounted /tmp directory. One or
two restart are required to fix this problem.
###############
Independent of the success of the boot process, the log message related to the
problem seem to be:
