Walter, et al: So, does that have any real "meaning" in the day to day use and/or installation . . . ?? Would having a swap partition already there create some problem for post 18.04 installations as far as the new file method is concerned? Is the swap file placed in the swap partition?
Over the last few years I have checked "swap" activity in routine use of sevreal computers, both PPC and Intel Macs . . . and I don't think I ever saw much use of "swap" if any . . . so I have wondered whether it was even "needed." But, still the installers seem to look for the swap partition, and in my multi-boot situation of 4 linux distros, 2 ubuntu, 2 OpenSUSE and 3 OSX . . . it seems like the last system "grabs" the swap and it does cause a very slow boot up process for all the other installs . . . have to link the swap "manually" . . . . This may or may not relate to what the OP is experiencing . . . . Perhaps if there is the opportunity for a completely fresh install into a fairly empty HD so that "automatic--install alongside" method could be used it might be interesting to note what that looks like on Gparted ??? Something to do on a rainy day in non-rainy SoCal . . . .
