Ubuntu wont load, stuck for over an hour with "Started waiting until snapd is fully seeded"
15,887
This was apparently caused by a lack of space on my PC, as I went into the system and deleted some files and it was able to load. Turns out that there was around 65 GB of syslog.1 in the /var/log folder. I don't know how it got there, but if you find yourself having this kind of error, check how much space you have on your PC.

My Ubuntu installation was complaining that it was low on memory. So I moved some old school files from last semester off it, restarted and now it gets hung up on this every time I start. I just tried waiting as Google showed that it needed more time or entropy, so I tried random key presses and moving the mouse but nothing happened.
How do I get rid of this issue and boot my Ubuntu?

jeremy_rutman over 4 yearsI've got the same issue but no lack of memory or disk space on my PC - I am trying to setup a dual boot, with windows shrunk to 250Gb leaving 250Gb for ubuntu. I can never get past the language choice screen, with no response to mouse clicks - and I've tried 3 different USB sticks at this point. This is on a razr blade.

Soren A about 5 years/var/log/syslog and the other files in /var/log/ are log entries from the system, mainly reporting status and errors. A huge logfile indicates that something is/was wrong. If a log-file keeps growing, you should look into the file to see what the problem is, and find a solution for it. The files ending in .1 .2 and so on, is old logfiles, the current normally have no extensions.
