Hi jifitailu. Perhaps you have an incorrect UUID in your /etc/fstab as described here:
viewtopic.php?p=1812371#p1812371
and here:
viewtopic.php?p=1540464#p1540464

Or the problem described here:
viewtopic.php?p=1725266#p1725266

Hello,
I agree with previous posts, but you've also a LVM (Logical Volume Management) issue. Perhaps that VM of yours doesn't work as smoothly as you expressed.
Maybe the output of

Code: Select all

systemd-analyze critical-chain
will give us a more precise idea of boot sequence.
dual boot LMDE4 (mostly) + LM19.3 Cinnamon (sometimes)
