I have a dual boot Windows 10/Ubuntu 18.04 computer. Windows boots perfectly, but right now Ubuntu won't boot. I get the error

systemd-fstab-generator [993]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/generator/media-Datas.mount, as it already exists. Duplicate entry in /etc/fstab?

and it only allows me to boot into the terminal.

I typed in journalctl -xb and found these four errors buried in the log:

  • Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e (this also shows up when Ubuntu first starts booting)
  • The fstab error above, followed by /lib/systemd/system-generator/system-fstab-generator failed with exit status 1
  • Timed out waiting for device dev-sdb1.device (I assume this is a USB device not loading?)
  • Failed to start AppArmor initialization

How do I fix this? Ideally without touching my Windows installation? I really can't afford to break my Windows installation.
