systemd error gpt-auto-generator in EFI

privacyrequired · 2017-05-29 09:15:35

I made the default iso installation using EFI and now when I log in a black screen appears with the following error

[13.351089] systemd-gpt-auto-generator[131]: Failed to determine partition table type of /dev/sda: Input-Output error

But it works, what should I do to fix this bug?

Can we please see the full output of

sudo parted --list

Well that looks normal enough.

What does gdisk say?

Install it first:

sudo apt install gdisk

Then post the output of

sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda

Can we also see

sudo journalctl ---no-pager| grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator
systemctl --all | grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator
systemctl --failed

not running this command

sudo journalctl ---no-pager| grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator
systemctl --all | grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator
systemctl --failed

I have converted the image tags to URLs, those images are far too large for these boards (~250x250px please!).

If you are using Brtfs then you should probably be using the backported kernel version (and btrfs-progs) but frankly I cannot really recommend using BunsenLabs with Btrfs at all because our Debian stable base is not best suited to software with such a rapid development cycle.

I think XFS is probably the best alternative and there are attempts to add copy-on-write support and other advanced features to that filesystem (although not for Helium/stretch).

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you mean by this.

Please explain further.

I did not do anything, I just installed the system manually and this bug occurred

I posted three separate commands but you have not pressed the <Return> key after each one so it hasn't worked.

Please try again and enter each command separately, press the <Return> ("Enter") key after each line.

First:

sudo journalctl ---no-pager| grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator

Then:

systemctl --all | grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator

And finally:

systemctl --failed

o-o no have grep

anastiel@meshnet:~$ sudo systemctl --all | grep systemd-gpt-auto-generator
anastiel@meshnet:~$

and in

anastiel@meshnet:~$ sudo systemctl --failed
0 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
anastiel@meshnet:~$

o-o solution?

I don't have time to investigate now but I think this is an inconsequential bug:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/20 … 01366.html

I think you are fine to ignore the message but it would be wise to check the health of your hard drive, just in case.
