At terminal..
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

change
UUID="d6c38229-0d5f-4117-a439-87b0c5df1d82" TYPE="swap"

to
UUID=d6c38229-0d5f-4117-a439-87b0c5df1d82 none    swap   sw 
  0       0

all on one line, other lines remain unchanged. (this email wraps 1 line 
to 2 lines). then save and exit.
At terminal,
sudo swapoff -a
sudo swapon -a
free

see any change?
