Comment 45 for bug 1310058

I was confronted with this bug simply because I checked "Encrypt home folders" during a fresh installation of Ubuntu LTS 14.04 .
There seems to be a certain amount of unwillingness to resolve this issue because we are moving from Upstart to systemd.
This I understand.

However, why not leave users then with at least a working unencrypted swap, instead of a non-functional encrypted swap?
After all, during installation I checked for encrypting /home, not swap. Furthermore, the risks involved with a plain, unencrypted swap are very limited.

Here is how I recovered from the disfunctional swap without reinstalling, nor rebooting, whilst keeping /home encrypted:
