When I start my OS it takes long



Can you provide a new boot journal and upload it again so that I can see anything different in it this time?
 
Thanks! Can you make a picture of what exactly you are seeing now what there is job running waiting to finish?

Still looks like the same job, can you try the following for me when your system is booted.
1. Open a terminal.
2. Run the following: sudo systemctl daemon-reload
3. Then reboot. What happens now, does is the start job still there during boot?
 
Are you certain it saved properly ?

Same job
 
I'm having a hard time reading the journal because it cuts off near the end of each line.

Looks like it's still trying to decrypt something. When booted into your PopOS installation again, can you share the output of the following?
Code:
cat /etc/fstab
lsblk
sudo cat /etc/crypttab

Can you do the following.
1. sudo gedit /etc/crypttab
2. Change this line: ( in short add a # at the front of the line)
- from: cryptswap UUID=fce8af9e-a3c3-49e8-972b-aaa64141a80d /dev/urandom swap,plain,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64,size=512
- to: #cryptswap UUID=fce8af9e-a3c3-49e8-972b-aaa64141a80d /dev/urandom swap,plain,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64,size=512
3. Click save
4. Then run: sudo systemctl daemon-reload
5. Reboot and see if your system starts now without having to wait for a start job?
 
You can remove the line fully now from /etc/crypttab, so remove this line now.
#cryptswap UUID=fce8af9e-a3c3-49e8-972b-aaa64141a80d /dev/urandom swap,plain,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64,size=512
Adding a # to the front of a line disables it, making it a comment. The problems was that in your /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/cryptswap was causing systemd to to try and activate it during boot, /etc/crypttab makes systemd try to decrypt it first. So what was happening was that we had removed the /etc/fstab entry and then the /etc/crypttab entry was still trying to decrypt it. So now that we have disabled the entry by making it a comment systemd doesn't try to decrypt it anymore and you don't see a hanging startup job.

You could start here and if you want a book you I would start with this because that author has a good and fun way of explaining things. I think that should get you started in understanding the basics and then you should be able to start to find your own way from there. Also have a look here as it may have some useful information.

Lastly it's mostly about hands on experience that you learn GNU/Linux and a little bit about knowing how it works.
 
Oh interesting I will then :) thanks

I did type sudo /etc/crypttab in the terminal so I deleted the line I previously disabled and saved

I restarted the computer and it is still booting.. 8 mins minumum
 
Looks more like a kernel thing, then problem of remove that line. Press the power button until your computer turns off and then turn it back on again. What happens then?
