[Bug 1767299] Re: Ubuntu 18.04 Installer creates swap partition too small

[phanky5]

This is a major problem. I am now forced to do a full reinstall with
proper swap allocation. This will set me back at least 1 full business
day until I synced all my files again. There are not many common users
out there who will go to that extend just to move over to Ubuntu.

If there is any solution to easily resize the swap partition on LUKS/
LVM instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Title:
  Ubuntu 18.04 Installer creates swap partition too small

Status in partman-auto package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installed Ubuntu 18.04 final release.

  The disk is 512 Gigabyte, the RAM is 8 Gigabyte. The installer just
  gave me 979 Megabyte of space. I chose LVM to have an encrypted drive.

  Here are some details:

  Swap:          979M          0B        979M
