Okay, here's what I do to fix the problem (for 14.04). I'll break it down into three steps.
1. Reformat the original swap partition on the system and make note of it's new uuid. You need to do this, because ubuntu wipes the uuid when it encrypts the partition on the first boot. 2. Now change /etc/crypttab to include an offset of 10MiB (offset=20) so that cryptdisks doesn't wipe the uuid on the new swap partition. Change from: cryptswap1 UUID="old-uuid" /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 To: cryptswap1 UUID="new-uuid" /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,offset=20 3. Now run the following commands to activate the encrypted swap partition: sudo cryptdisks_start cryptswap1 sudo swapon -a This should fix the issue, and the system should automatically have an active encrypted swap on each subsequent boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953875 Title: Encrypted swap no longer mounted at bootup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/953875/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
