Warning: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning

[cubekozy]

Hi,

I'm new at linux, I installed linux mint ~2 weeks ago I used steam and proton to play my games etc.
Then I saw a game what is not on steam and not supported on linux so I decide to install virtual machine to play that game.
Tried oracle virtalbox, it's not supporting gpu passthrough so I tried kvm.

I had some issues to install it, so I removed it, run apt autoremove and reinstalled it.
After reboot basically I don't reach the encryption password entering.
I getting this error:
Warning: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning
After a while I getting to ash.

I don't know what and how borke my system, on mint irc I get informed kvm is nothing to do whit booting and send me here to the forum.

I looked at this post: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=267509
I think it's have a similar problem.

From live I run some commands for more info:

The link you included had a LUKS partition /dev/sda5: UUID="e50493aa-57d2-404b-8d1b-a0cbbd2a6c9c" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" PARTUUID="326fb561-05"

Yours shows no reference to a LUKS partition.

You do have an ext4 partition on /dev/sda1, however it reports Partition: ID-1: / size: 3.89 GiB used: 112.1 MiB

It appears that you don't have a valid system partition any more which is a different issue from the link you referenced.
