What you need to do is look at this link at the default config - (from the link mentioned) your /etc/fstab will have something similar to this for the swap area:
Code:
# /dev/sda6 UUID=cee15eca-5b2e-48ad-9735-eae5ac14bc90 none swap sw 0 0
Make sure you know what partition is getting used in fstab for the swap. Then click on the top left button that launches the unity panel and type in "Disk Utility" and make a new partition of the unused swap partition or extend it to another partition. I am not sure if "Disk Utility" supports extension of an existing but I am sure gparted does. you can install gparted by
Code:
sudo apt-get install gparted
and launch it the same way as you launch "Disk Utility" with the Unity Panel
