Today I just realized that my comp is getting very slow when the ram usage is above 80%. As I remember before the upgrade to 6.10, it was able to manage/perform much better than that. So I found that that swap partition is actually missing and so I look in the Ubuntu forum to see if I can found anything. Seems that I'm not the only one, but I guess I can't complain as I have two swap partitions. Anyway this is the solution if you have the same problem.

List your partitions
 - Disk admin does not come with 6.10, can use this to list your partitions.

sudo fdisk -l

Mount your swap partition
 - dev/hda8 is mine swap partition, likely to be different for you.

sudo mkswap /dev/hda8

swapon -a

If these doesn't work, try:

sudo swapon /dev/hda8 

That's it, good luck. view source
