I was able to obtain a proper UUID (using: sudo blkid) for the swap partition 
and updated the /etc/fstab with that information. Rebooted the system and it 
works as expected (without the not ready message). The swap space shows in top 
and the Hibernate entry is showing in the Indicator Applet.

Problem solved!
