Public bug reported: After not touching my notebook since 30th September (where I did the dist-upgrade to artful and installed all available updates), I did all available updates today (20th October) and the system didn't boot after that.
The last message I see is "Reached target Bluetooth". Before that, there are several failed services. GDM doesn't come up. After logging in on tty2, I saw that the root partition was mounted read-only. Inspecting the messages of e.g. systemd-resolved shows that it didn't start because of the read-only filesystem. After remounting it fw, I was able to restart the daemons and could also start GDM and login fine. My fstab shows: UUID=a936dbe9-5ab5-4272-aaae-d22030824373 / ext4 errors =remount-ro 0 1 The UUID is correct as "mount / -o remount,rw" works fine. Booting with the previous kernel doesn't change anything.
