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

[Imad Ahmed]

I have the same problem in 13.04 and when recently upgraded to 13.10.
Swap does not mount regardless for the several solutions I found
elsewhere! Hopefully someone will come up with useful solution.

It worth mentioning that Gparted see the swap partition as Unknown and
you cannot format it again there as you get an error. So going no
where!!

Please help.

Thanks

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.
