Ubuntu 17.04 Freezing Issue [duplicate]

Solution 1:

There seems to be problems with 17.04 and encrypted swapfiles... and there are some workarounds...

Edit your /etc/crypttab like so:

gksudo gedit /etc/crypttab

Change this line:

cryptswap1 UUID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

To this:

cryptswap1 /swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

Also make sure that your /etc/fstab contains this:

/swapfile               none  swap  sw  0  0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1  none  swap  sw  0  0
