    "No Swap space available"

    Being fairly new to Kubuntu and more than a little OCD I noticed in System Monitor the statement "No Swap space available".
    At installation I created a 1.5GB partition for swap which is showing up "graphically" in Partition Editor.

    To me all seems to be in order. I put it down to the install perhaps being a development version?
    With this mornings reboot though I received a system message stating drive @#Fe%g^hjjhhkh whatever was unavailable, continue?
    Just want to know if you guys think this is a bug, or an install glitch on my behalf?

    Thanks in advance

    Did you re-format swap after the install? Sounds like the UUID changed.

    Verify the UUID of the swap partition is the same as the one listed in /etc/fstab.

    If it is, try manually mounting swap. In a terminal type:

    sudo swapon -a

    and then

    swapon -s

    to see if it's working

      To verify the UUID of your swap partition, open a terminal and run
      Code:
      sudo blkid
      Once you have the UUID then open etc/fstab in a text editor and verify that the correct UUID is being used to mount the swap partition. Note: You will have to open you text editor in sudo mode in order to edit it.
      Code:
      kdesudo kate /etc/fstab
      should do that. After you have modified and saved the /etc/fstab file, then run
      Code:
      sudo mount -a
      .

        Thank you for your replies. I have ditched this system after failures seemed to become the norm more and more.
        Appreciate your suggestions none the less.
