[Bug 1186811] Re: The Ubuntu installation does not create swap partition.

[David Nemeskey]

Hi tres86dx,

I tried your workaround, but it didn't work for me:


$ sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap

WARNING:
An encrypted swap is required to help ensure that encrypted files are not leaked to disk in an unencrypted format.

HOWEVER, THE SWAP ENCRYPTION CONFIGURATION PRODUCED BY THIS PROGRAM WILL
BREAK HIBERNATE/RESUME ON THIS SYSTEM!

NOTE: Your suspend/resume capabilities will not be affected.

Do you want to proceed with encrypting your swap? [y/N]: y

INFO: Setting up swap: [/dev/sda6]
swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: stat failed: No such file or directory

$ free -m

I had done everything by your comment up till then.

Title:
  The Ubuntu installation does not create swap partition.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu installation does not create swap partition. This issue
  happen with both 12.04.2 and 13.04.

  I tested it with two diferents pc and with a virtual machine in
  virtual box into Ubuntu. I tried both automatic and manual
  installation options during installation.

  The partition is created but with errors and the system can not mount
  the partition swap at startup.

  I solved the problem by booting the system from pendrive, then start
  gparted and format the partition again. This worked for several days,
  until it happened again today.

  I include a picture (of gparted) with the problem.
