    Swap usage not available in System monitor

    I was just wondering why this is not showing swap usage in Raring.
    Conky shows the same thing - no usage.

    RR amd64 (currently in awesome) works fine, shows 0 usage of existing (and in use) swap...

    Check your swap partition is active and mounted.

    Maybe the "trick" is to have 1 GiB RAM. LoL!

    No, there is difference between "0 used" and "not available"...

    That must be it! LoL! I see you are using swap and I have never seen any swap used here.

    First of all thanks for all of the replies!

    I see that fstab is correct (sda10) but, the swap file is not mounted according to blkid.

    In Gparted I turned swapon and it mounted. It is only one GB but, it shows 0 used of 1GB.
    I'll try rebooting and see if it stays mounted.

    You really don't need a different swap partition for every different install. I use the manual partition option, and the swap partition is always detected even if it's own a differen thard drive.

    Your swap UUIDs don't match.
    I'd simply edit the fstab file and remove the swap UUID and replace it with the one for sda10.
