Re: Activate Swap File after installation
Hi oshunluvr
That last point you made, and which Vinny also drew my attention to, is a big one for me. I want the machine to hibernate when the battery level gets critical. Therefore an encrypted swap (and by implication an encrypted home) is not the right thing for me. I therefore reinstalled.
The reinstall (together with installation of all the other applications I use) only took about 40 minutes in total - way less than I had spent trying to fix the problem (although I would have much preferred to do that otherwise I learn nothing) and way, way less time than a Windows reinstall.
A couple of closing thoughts: Firstly I wonder whether the partition manager showed /sda3 to be unknown simply because it was encrypted, and that for anything other than hibernation it was working normally? Secondly I wonder why there were no encryption entries in my fstab to an encrypted home?
Anyway, thanks for your help.Comment
