[SOLVED] Cryptswap issues after fresh dual boot install

[Bassie]

Hello,

I have a problem with (as it looks like) my (encrypted) swapfile when booting. This is my situation:

- I'm using a Dell XPS 15 9570
- Installed Linux Mint 19 next to Windows 10 (decreased the partition size of the Windows install and choose the option while installing mint: "Install Linux Mint alongside Windows Boot Manager")
- Selected 'encrypt home folder' during installation
- Using Nvidia drivers (nvidia-driver-396)
- In BIOS I disabled safe boot and changed the hdd mode from RAID to AHCI

I had similiar issues after installing Linux Mint (also with Windows after switching to AHCI) so I made a clean install of both Windows and Linux mint (same setup as described above).

So the issue I have is that booting takes a long time. In the syslog I found a lot of these entries like these:

Code: Select all

Aug 13 14:39:03 bassie-XPS-15-9570 systemd-cryptsetup[6165]: crypt_init() failed: Block device required
Aug 13 14:39:03 bassie-XPS-15-9570 systemd[1]: Failed to start Cryptography Setup for cryptswap1.

When trying to recover from a "Suspend" state it will only show a black screen with a (non-blinking) underscore. I have to force shutting down the laptop with the power button on my laptop, because it won't load Linux Mint anymore. In my Linux Mint installation before the new fresh install I had this issue when booting as well.

Do you know how to solve this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Some information about my setup:
