Public bug reported:

The test is failing due to a warning dialog popping up saying
unencrypted data could potentially end up in the swap space and a
suggestion is given to run swapoff before continuing the install.

What should we do here? We can either:

1) start the test run with swap disabled (not ideal) 
2) try and test the dialog and it's contents follow it's advice and turn swapoff using a subprocess and try and continue with the install (alot more work).

I would edge towards the 2nd solution.

Thoughts anyone?
