Hi. I just installed latest version of Calculate 14 XFCE, in my Dell Inspiron 6400. I refer to this thread (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-812898-start-0-0-postdays-postorder-asc-highlight- html) because I have a similar problem.
In my case the swap partition has been installed from the beginning.
In the file / etc / fstab I can see as follows (UUID code is taken away from me on purpose)
_/ was on /dev/sda9 during installation
UUID=[...] / ext4 noatime,nodirat$
/home was on /dev/sda10 during installation
UUID=[...] /home ext4 noatime,nodirat$
swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=[...] none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0_
Nevertheless, every time I turn on the computer and give the command "free", the result is
_fran@calculate ~ $ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1021868 714956 306912 64100 25992 451556
-/+ buffers/cache: 237408 784460
Swap: 0 0 00 swap_
and I have to reactivate it by imposing swapon.
_calculate fran # swapon /dev/sda3
calculate fran # free
total used free shared buffers cached

Swap: 2047996 0 2047996_
Any suggestions about that? Thanks!
