Bug description:
  Hello!

  In addition to the system immediately mentioning an error on the start screen, I notice that for some time, at Ubuntu startup, the system takes exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds, making an unnecessary check in the boot step. I think this is related to the fact that I tried to create a Swap partition that Ubuntu never recognized. Alternatively, I installed Linux Mint to obtain the desired Swap partition. The problem is that Ubuntu is not taking advantage of the Swap partition I created by installing Linux Mint. Therefore, I am using my SSD in Dual Boot, with Linux Mint for daily use, since it is the only system that has been recognizing my much needed Swap partition with a reserve for 10GB.
  Currently, I have been using Ubuntu only to store files that do not fit on the partition I intended for the new Linux Mint system.
  From time to time, I try to login via Ubuntu (to make system updates), but as I said, I have to wait 1 MINUTE AND 30 SECONDS longer than I should for any system problem.
  I really like my Ubuntu 16.04 and I don't intend to uninstall it in any way. But waiting exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds is more boring than reading this giant, repetitive text I'm writing.
  I love all of you on the development team.
  Hopefully someday we will have an Ubuntu as efficient as version 14.04. In version 14.04 it was even possible to create a bootable thumb drive with a "persistence" area for 4GB. I really miss this feature and the old efficiency, although over time, Ubuntu 16.04 turned out to be an EXCELLENT operating system. However, I have better memories of the phase when I used version 14.04 and the even older version 10.04. With version 10.04 I found my comfort with Ubuntu Mate, which I keep on another computer. Well, Ubuntu Mate could come with a 10-year development time by default, instead of the short 3-year cycle, just like CentOS. I say this because, unlike most users of Linux distributions, I like to keep the same system, without having to carry out periodic re-installations. I found my happiness in the "Debian World", and when I install a distro like LM, Ubuntu Mate, or Ubuntu Unity, I want to use it permanently for as long as possible, as if it were a "Rolling Release", only with the stability of a Distro produced to be used for a certain time.
  Hugs to all. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
