On start-up I get the error:

The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present

but then Ubuntu starts normally.

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 in dual boot with Windows 7 using a pendrive. I used rufus to burn the iso on the pendrive.

I was going to try what was written here but I checked the various files before actually running any commands or doing any edits and found a few differences. Also the file resume does not exist in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d.

I attached a screenshot of fstab, crypttab, gparted of sda and the contents of conf.d. (I have only one physical hard drive).

This is the gparted screen shot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/yXCqA.png

This is /etc/crypttab: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Nr0XG.png

This is /etc/fstab: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TLExI.png

This is /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d folder: https://i.stack.imgur.com/l8fw0.png

How should I enable swap on an encrypted volume?

Answers? Anybody? – Mudit Kapoor Mar 26 '15 at 15:17
Please don't use screen shots to show text files. Use http://paste.ubuntu.com instead so the text is searchable... ;-) And I'm sorry and, please, blame it on me: I'm confused and confusing... But... What's your question??? :/ – Fabby Mar 28 '15 at 07:57
It seems that my computer is unable to use the swap partition. How to fix that. – Mudit Kapoor Mar 28 '15 at 08:14
A comment there says the computer didn't start up after doing that – Mudit Kapoor Mar 28 '15 at 15:23
It is not well written there. Can't understand some stuff – Mudit Kapoor Mar 30 '15 at 09:30
Could you please specify what exactly you don't understand? – Fabby Mar 30 '15 at 09:37
Sorry for the trouble. I got it. But is it safe? – Mudit Kapoor Mar 30 '15 at 13:56
Yes! Safer then what you had before... ;-) – Fabby Mar 31 '15 at 07:28
i tried it, and the error still appears but for a very short time : less than a second – Mudit Kapoor Apr 01 '15 at 05:34
I should have told you from the start: That's normal if you're running this from a USB stick: It just takes a little bit more time to mount an encrypted swap then a normal swap, so you can consider that a "warning" and not an "error"... As long as you followed the instructions in the duplicate, you're fine! ;-) – Fabby Apr 01 '15 at 08:04
