Last week i had time to search a solution in google. First i discovered that the problem happen when the installation is made from usb stick. I realized that i started with the problem in 12.04 when i change from cd to usb. I guess the problem is in the installation program. I found the next solution and it works for me. Open a terminal windows: 1.- sudo swapoff -a (the previous command turns off "swap" anyway it don't work) 2.-edit the crypttab file in /etc/crypttab For do that use nautilus like superuser. In the terminal execute: sudo nautilus next go to /etc/crypttab and open the file. Search for: cryptswap1 /dev/sdb8 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
and put # at the begining to ignore the coomand when ubuntu start. Something like this: #cryptswap1 /dev/sdb8 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 save the file and close it. 3.- Do the same for another file named fstab sudo nautilus next go to /etc/fstab and open the file. Search for: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 put # again at the beginning. #/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 save the file. 4.-Close all the programs and restart ubuntu. 5.- start gparted and reformat the correct partition like swap. Be sure the correct partition. In my case is: /dev/sdb5 6.- open terminal and execute: sudo mkswap /dev/sdXX sdXX in my case is sdb5, this can vary from system to system. Pay attention to the system answer and copy to use later the UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For example: setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4208636 KiB no label, UUID=06a9be15-d05b-466d-bfe3-a086bb9cdba0 7.-edit the resume file in /etc/crypttab For do that use nautilus like superuser. In the terminal execute: sudo nautilus next go to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and open the file. Search for: RESUME=UUID=06a9be15-d05b-466d-bfe3-a086bb9cdba0 and change the numbers for yours numbers (previously saved): RESUME=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx save the file 8.- in the terminal execute: sudo update-initramfs -u this upgrade the configuration 9.- sudo swapon /dev/sdXX this activate the swap 10.- sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap this encrypt the swap partition 11.- to check the partition is working execute: free -m the report indicate the size of swapp partition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186811 Title: The Ubuntu installation does not create swap partition.
