[TuxOnIce-users] PPA for ubuntu not updated

I'm sorry for my mistake -- the problem was that the swap partition lost its
UUID for some reason, so swapon -a showed that it didn't find the device
with the UUID mentioned in /etc/fstab.

Just in case another novice encounters this (and for my own reference), I
followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq to
fix this:

> sudo fdisk -l
to find the device with Linux swap / Solaris type.
> sudo swapoff -a
> sudo /sbin/mkswap </dev/something>
> sudo swapon -a

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer!
