I had already uninstalled that.
I have a 250GB disk. Before installing Hardy Heron, I decided to rationalize my disk space by reorganizing the partitions completely. I used Gparted to do this. It involved moving my 2GB Linux swap partition. Unfortunately, on moving the swap partition to another part of the disk, Gparted did not update the UUID of the swap partition in /etc/fstab. Consequently, ubuntu was constantly looking for the Linux swap partition at its old UUID. Correcting the swap partition's UUID manually in /etc/fstab cured the problem instantly and permanently. regards, Rob Morton -- Ubuntu 8.04 : after installing april 8/2008 updates, hard drive led never stops flashing and CPU consuption is VERY high https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214763 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
