[xubuntu-users] Swap not active

When I boot, I see, "The device mapper for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready 
or not present. Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual 
recovery.

Waiting has no apparent effect; M does nothing.

Gnome-system-monitor shows swap as not available. Gnome-disk utility shows the 
partition as inactive and when I Activate it, the swap status changes 
immediately to available.

After a reboot, I get the same message at boot, swap is not available and is 
not active, according to Gnome-disk.

I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 and updates are current. But, I've seen the same 
message at boot on another PC running Xubuntu 12.04.

Luckily, Linux manages memory memory quite well so swap is seldom called into 
action, and, I don't hibernate - just suspend or shutdown.

Solution?
