Getting InitRamFS warning during update / upgrade in terminal on 18.04

[brimcgon]

Good day,

I was running my daily update and upgrade in the terminal on Ubuntu Mate 18.04, and got this in the last few lines during the upgrade step.


I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/dm-1
I: (/dev/mapper/ubuntu--mate--vg-swap_1)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

I don't know what to do, but it won't run the upgrade again, and suggests running

sudo apt autoremove

but the list of files it shows to be removed is large (almost a gig), and that strikes me as odd for sure.

I'm afraid to reboot, as I don't want to not be able to get back in either.

Any help on what this is and how to best address it is appreciated.

Please run

sudo apt -f install
and post the results.

Nothing is wrong. Its just informing you where it's going to resume from if you suspend. It's your swap partition.

In Gnome and MATE, the value is also stored in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume as UUID.

Note: If you ever change the swap location, change the UUID here to the new swap as well as in fstab so initramfs can find it when you boot your OS.

Here's the info from "sudo apt install -f"

I think wine pulled in all those 32bit (i386) libraries that autoremove now wants to clean up. You removed wine, right? And your running a 64bit system?

If so, I see this as safe.

32bit architecture can be installed on a 64bit system with:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

[brimcgon]

I did indeed remove wine, so thank you for the clarification and help. I appreciate it.

[cruzer001]

Your welcome

I usually use the purge command instead of "remove". Does a better job of cleaning up.
