System files are mounted readonly
My computer wont boot on Ubunutu anymore. I'm asked to enter my passphrase for encrypted disk (cryptswap1), but whatever I enter I get stuck on "Started Hold until boot process finishes up".
When I restart ad go into recovery mode as root, It seems like my disk is mounted on readonly, wich means an error has occured, but I cannot find the reason.
I've search a lot and done some modifications in my fstab ...
EDIT
In fact, at first my problem was the black screen. When my computer was booting, it would run into a command prompt, i could switch between virtual terminals but the cursor was always blinking and i my typing was completely messing. I then proceed to play with fstab and cryptoswap. And there I am.
Here is my fstab (manually pasted)

I agree with @steeldriver. It always mounts the drive as read only first in recovery mode. If you need to perform changes you need to remount the drive as read write.mount -o remount,rw /

I've mounted the drive as root with "mount -o remount, rw /" and resume the boot. Screen gets black with a blinking cursor. I can write, but nothing else, no command prompt.

Have you checked the drive for errors withfsck? When booting to recovery mode it should be one of the options.
