Public bug reported:
I needed to get the UUID of my swap partition (to compare and/or supply
it to the `swapon` command). So I ran Ubuntu `disks`. When I click my
swap partition, Disks shows some useful info about the partition (which
I can copy, yay, but only field-by-field, boo!). But the panel doesn't
show the device UUID. It should.
As a poor workaround, if I choose gears icon > Edit partition, the
dialog has a Type drop-down with "Linux Swap (0657fblah-blah-blah)" in
it. But I can't copy that, so I have to retype it, which is silly on a
computer.
The advanced workaround is to root around in /dev/disk/by-ThisAndThat.
