[Bug 2046049] Re: No swap created when installing Xubuntu 24.04 iso.

[Mike Ferreira]

This is was found originally on Noble, Xubuntu, 231209.

I used Noble, daily, 20231210 -- installed twice,with two different
slight variations.

Fist was Other / Manual, using existing partitions, no re-format. Second
was on newly created partitions from unallocated space.

Both resulted in not creating a swap file:
>>>
mafoelffen at noble-xubuntu-01:~$ grep . /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

mafoelffen at noble-xubuntu-01:~$ sudo swapon --show
mafoelffen at noble-xubuntu-01:~$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1.4Gi       736Mi       142Mi       7.9Mi       713Mi       697Mi
Swap:             0B          0B          0B
>>>  
The third test-case, I installed with an existing swap partition, which it did recognize that it existed, and the installer used it as a swap partition... So this issue seems to be localized to not creating a swap file, if an existing swap partition does not exist...

Title:
  No swap created when installing Xubuntu 24.04 iso.

Status in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed Xubuntu 24.04 using the graphical installer from the iso
  file downloaded on Dec $th 2023.

  All went well but no swapfile was created at install.

  The installation replaced a partition with Xubuntu 20.04. It was
  installed using the Something Else option at installation and choosing
  te 20.04 partition for the / partition of the new version.  The
  existing EFI partition was used.

  I anticipated a swapfile would be created automatically but this did
  not happen causing suspend failure on lid closure of the laptop which
  is what it is set to do.
