If I start the 'Disks' application and hit the little 'play' button when the swap is highlighted, enter my password then rerun the last command, I get:Code:cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

I remember when I installed Kali that I specified the free space on the drive as ext4 and the pre-existing swap partition (from the pre-existing ubuntu 14.04 install) as swap. I saw no reason to have two swap partitions.
Clearly the partition is not being mounted for some reason when ubuntu boots. Yes, Kali stole my swap.
help?
