Comment 15 for bug 709363

Some extra info over here.

I tried the whole process again and I found that, even if I choose not to encrypt home, if I do advanced partitioning, the swap doesn't get active. It's all about the /etc/fstab file, it contains incorrect info because it has no UUID for swap partition. Also, it replicates on Natty installer from scratch.

What I did in order to activate swap was:
* reconfigure the "/etc/fstab" file so it recognizes the location of the swap partition:

 # /dev/sdaX
 UUID=f33563e3-48bc-4ec9-9b8c-a4783ed4109a none swap sw 0 0

Using the existing own /dev or UUID, which I can get with:

 $ blkid

and checking also with:

 $ sudo fdisk -l

Then just issue the command:

 $ swapon -a

And the swap partition shows up in tpo, system monitor and so on. Well... it haven't got used so far but I'll test with some youtube videos and stuff, trying to get it used.

Hope this helps
