WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad.

After installing the latest Solus Plasma, can no longer boot up into Windows 10. Grub loads and Solus runs fine, but after selecting Windows 10, it goes immediately in repair mode and does not work.

WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
Found Windows 10 (loader) on /dev/sda1

Tried a number of solutions here to update/repair the kernel but get the failed to connect to lvmetad error message.

Yea it's just a warning, it's fine.

Any suggestions on how to fix? I've researched numerous solutions but nothing fixes the issue with windows booting into repair mode and failing.

JoshStrobl

There isn't a fix. It isn't a bug, it's just being verbose. You can just ignore it.

Sorry I was talking about fixing the issue with windows 10 not wanting to boot normally. Done enough reading and think I'm just going to remove windows 10 and run it in virtual box mode here on my Solus install.. solus is awesome 🙂 Thanks for your comments.
