Hi crews,
I’m new to Qubes-OS and running the latest version (4.2). Everything was fine until today, when I can’t access the OS again. After prompting the password for decrypting the disk, it was hanging at lvm2-pvscan@253.0, as in the below images.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
Do you end up in the emergency shell after waiting for it to timeout starting?
If yes, then try to check the boot logs using journalctl command to see the specific errors that could cause this.
And check the service log using:
systemctl status lvm2-pvscan@253.0.service
Maybe try to start the service manually:
systemctl start lvm2-pvscan@253.0.service
If you’ll be able to start the service then try to continue booting using this command:
systemctl default
I didn’t, cause I waited around 23minutes…, still there and nothing happened then I shutdown the machine… So I couldn’t check the bootlog
Boot from some other OS (e.g. from some Live Linux USB) and try to decrypt your LUKS and mount your root LVM there to make sure that your disk works.
Tks, I’ll try this option
You can also enable verbose log output during boot by removing rhgb quiet and adding plymouth.enable=0 kernel command line options in GRUB. You can edit GRUB like this:

Maybe you’ll see more specific errors during boot.
