Hi,
So I recently installed Kubuntu, and everything was running smoothly. Specifically, my swap space was configured correctly and working.
Then I decided I wanted to have a couple of my hard drives auto mount on startup, so I used mountmanager to try and set it up (rather foolishly, I did not back-up my FSTAB file beforehand, assuming the software would do it automatically). Since then swap no longer mounts, and the hds didn't automount either.
Here's 'free -m' just to show you:

The commented out lines are what I've tried (manually configuring, and copying from mtab after mounting in Dolphin). When trying either of the 2 manual entries for HD2, I can hear the hard drive going crazy, as is the disk usage led, but it's not mounted, and would no longer mount in Dolphin.

Ideally I'd like to get swap back and have /dev/sdc1 & /dev/sdb5 automount on startup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :)
EDIT:
Har, I'm so blind. Clearly my swap space is working correctly. It wasn't working yesterday I didn't either bother to read the free -m output.
But I still need to figure out how to automount those partitions.
So again, any help is appreciated.
