Change Swap partition in Ubuntu

  • Create swap and turn it on
  • add swap entry to fstab
  • update grub sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  • update sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
  • you can get UUID with sudo blkid
  • if you just update the fstab and not the RESUME values, it'll not boot on the next restart, will give an error about resume device.
