38.15 Olive Maintenance
20201011
Olive is a Dell XPS13 9380. See Section 38.13 for details.
Upgrade 18.04 to 19.04 20191026 After sitting on 18.04 LTS for a while the decision was made to upgrade to the latest release 19.10. Using the graphical update manager the release option was changed from LTS and an upgrade to 19.04 was offered and proceeded with. After the reboot the boot process failed with cryptsetup: Waiting for encrypted source device /swapfile…. Not a good sign. The boot process reverts to initramfs prompt. Typing exit resumes the boot process which is then successful. Various attempts to fix have not succeeded yet.
Upgrade 19.04 to 19.10 20191026 The problem with the encrypted swap continued, but worse. On exit from initramfs then noted the same message and had to wait for that to time out. The following exit worked.
A solution was found to uninstall cryptsetup-initramfs
(version 2:2.2.0-3ubuntu1). Also removed the crypt entries from
/etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab.
Upgrade Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 20200502 Update from Ubutnu 19.10 to 20.04. Began by checking home folder for anything to back up first. Should really not be anything - keeping project work on git repositories, configurations in a git repository, and project and important files on a nextcloud server.

fwupdmgr get-upgrades; fwupdmgr update The system started booting into BusyBox with a initramfs
prompt. Typing exit reported that /dev/nvme0n1p7
(the boot drive) needed a fsck. So:
fsck /dev/nvme0n1p7 -yThis quickly finished, with inode fixes, etc., and then another exit and it booted into Ubuntu.
