I am facing the Same problems. However my Case is very specific. I have tried several Solus Installations, My Observations are as below.

  1. if I choose automatic partitioning everything works as expected.
  2. if I choose any partition which is either an extended partition, Swap does not auto-mount and the Installer does not write any information about SWAP in the /etc/fstab file.
  3. if I install Solus with Swap as the first partition on the disk and / as the second partition, Or as long as SWAP stays the first partition and I manually create all other partitions after Creating SWAP first as first partition, I see the issue happens and there is no entry for SWAP partition in FSTAB.

Other than these two conditions the installer always creates the SWAP entry in FSTAB.

Hope this description helps in evaluating this bug.

I have the same issue, I'm using unstable since a long time, I have no idea when the problem starts.
"dmesg" says the swap partition is mounted, but it doesn't.

I did a fresh install recently, completely wiped the hard drive, default lvm partition settings using the installer. Same problem, the proper fstab command wasn't generated to activate the swap partition.

Same problem, with Solus 3.

I'd just like to confirm that this bug still exists in Solus 3. With the option to use entire disk and LVM partitions, swap is not mounted in a new installation. I have verified this on two separate systems.

Perhaps related to T1199.

With the option to use entire disk and LVM partitions, swap is not mounted in a new installation.

If swap were mounted, would it actually be encrypted out of the box and if yes, how to ensure it is?

But if it's inside the LVM container (it is) and the method of encryption is LVM on top of LUKS, then swap is certainly inside the encryption. I learned it from Arch installs.

I also see the same warning message samuelcecilio posted. It's during boot, while typing the decryption password. It always appears there.

Hello, this is still an issue. I am using LVM on top of LUKS and found swap was not active when I tried hibernating my laptop.

You mean after a fresh installation? Of course this is still not working: ISOs haven't been updated yet (Solus 4 is not out yet).

I am also experiencing this issue on an LVM on LUKS install. Had to manually include in fstab with: /dev/SolusSystem/Swap none swap sw 0 0.
