[Bug 1361539] [NEW] Unavailable swap after installation with /home encryption

[Paweł Ciechomski]

Public bug reported:

I used to mark checkbox "encrypt /home folder" during installation of
Ubuntu. Last time I've used it was on Ubuntu 13.04. To the October 2013
I had to use Windows but I wanted Ubuntu back. So I started installing
Ubuntu and marked /home encryption checkbox as always. I must add that I
always make 2 GB swap. After installation on boot I saw text "the disk
drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present". In
system monitor I tried to check, how much swap do I use, but it shows me
that "swap is unavailable". I don't know how to repair this. I really
need to encrypt my /home folder and swap partition but it is impossible
to have swap with encrypted /home due this bug. GParted on live USB
session shows a red exclamation mark next to partition name and shows
swap as a damaged partition.
