Public bug reported:
I needed to do an 'emergency' reinstall while travelling owing to a
hopeless corrupted encryptfs. I happened to have a Bionic iso from
March 11 and used that to install to my laptop.
Soon after installing, I noticed various problems with logins, hangs,
etc. which I recently tracked down to the swapfile not being correctly
installed. In particular, I selected encrypted home directory (and
swap). The installer make a swap file as /swapfile but entered:
cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64
but of course there is no /target/swapfile. Must be some incomplete set
up here? You can see the confusion in the attached syslog.
Also, I have a swap partition preexisting, but I don't recall the
installer asking me about setting up a swap partition. When I released
swap was missing, I set that up by hand.
Anyway, my bad for not checking swap sooner, but it would be good to
check this to prevent some new Ubuntu user from having to rediscover
this problem later.
