Title:
  cryptswap1 password bug 16.04

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm a new linux user (read minimal skill set) and just installed MATE
  16.04 on a new Dell XPS 15 9550. I set up an encrypted home folder
  during installation and got the 'Please enter passphrase for
  cryptswap1' error during start up that seems to be well reported on
  for 15.04.

  I found this solution online http://askubuntu.com/a/720892

  The only change I made was that the directory /dev/disk/by-id didn't
  exist so I changed it to /dev/disk/by-uuid

  After running sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1p7 bs=512
  count=20480, I stopped getting the passphrase request, but now it
  takes several (~5) minutes to boot up.

  The long boot up is worse than the passphrase request so I changed
  /etc/crypttab back but it didn't change back - still no request and a
  super long boot time.

  I'm not sure if the time could be the result of the swap partition not
  encrypting/timing out.

  Any input would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks.
