/dev/mapper/cryptswap1

[cfrancoec]

Hello guys! thanks for the attention
Okay, this is my problem:
was normally booting when the start up splash screen goes black and nothing happens.
I reboot the pc and when it's rebooting the splash screen of Ubuntu appears with a text down there that says:

/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready You can skip or manually mount it. Pressing s or m

I pressed S & M while the screen was black, but nothing happens.
I read in this thread http://j.mp/kUKZM1 that the only way its to reinstall it. It's true?
Now I'm running in failsafe mode, or something like that
Please help!
Sorry about my bad English, im from Argentina

When I get that message, I wait. After a few seconds, booting continues normally, and /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 seems to mount properly:

$ sudo swapon -s

/dev/mapper/cryptswap1                  partition	1952480	0	-1

It doesn't show up in /etc/mtab, but I figured that's normal for the swap file.

I think your fasted option right now would be to reinstall. I would recommend against encrypting your home partition as well unless you absolutely need it, as it causes a lot of issues and leads to even more.

Well, when it fails to mount, are you actually experiencing issues?
Even in Natty, I see it all the time, and I have no trouble saving files.
Encrypting home directory is a must for me, so to say that the easiest fix is to lower your standard on security is...by disabling home dir encryption... well, not for me.

But I have to say, if it is truly a bug, it should be fixed. That's why we support open source in the first place. If security has to be compromised, we all should just go back to Windows. Plain and simple
