When I cold boot and check the Swap Part is not available according to system monitor.
And I do not see my windows partition either in Nautilus. Also If I plug various know good flash drives in they do not auto mount but the lights on them flash. here is a screen shot of a workaroud I found that allows me to mount and use Fat32 drives. Does anyone know if a tool or easy fix to get automounting to work as it should for all partitions?
A clean install fixes it but after doing all updates the issue happens again.
Thanks, Josea

I have to use the terminal to mount read-only ntfs partitions (have had to since 10.04), so, I feel your pain.
Once a workaround was posted (using sudo mount ....), the devs marked the bug as "fixed" and never touched it.It might just be something you'll have to tolerate, as I have.

UPDate, I was told the following
Try booting from a livecd, open a terminal and login as root. Use the command "blkid" to get the UUIDs of the partitions on your drive, mount the boot partition and edit grub with the correct UUIDs .: You may have to edit the file fstab with the proper UUIDs also.
When I issue Blkid I see 3 partitons
Here is 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. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=b4c5a911-f619-4158-8168-aae1d6fbf7c9 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=94a883c8-7da3-40e6-9342-61e29dc52e12 none swap sw 0 0
PS I did look at grub with grub customizer and /dev/sda2 is there, I see all the expected boot options in the proper order.
