Somehow My swap file UUID changed and it shows as no swap now, how can i change the uuid for the swap file so the system can see and use the swap file again. I had a text file that worked for linux mint when then happens changing the fstab file, but I tried that in mx14 and it didn't work. Is there another way to do this in mx14? __{{emoticon}}__

Open terminal
type: su (press enter)
type: your root password (press enter)
type: blkid (press enter)
note (copy): UUID="*******" (for the line labeled ' TYPE="swap" ' )
type: nano /etc/fstab
edit / replace: UUID=******** for the swap line and rewrite (paste) the UUID noted above (remove the quotes" *******" )
save and exit:
type: swapon -a
your swap should be enabled again
