I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my Dell Studio 1555 laptop and the swap partition isn't mounting or the system is just not using it. I have been using Ubuntu sense 10.04 and have never had this problem before, until 13.04. I have reinstalled it a few times and still it doesn't work and I have even install 13.04 on a USB drive and have it partitioned with both a ext4 and a swap partition in it was well and even on that USB drive it still doesn't use swap. Here is the output of the command 'free':

-/+ buffers/cache: 845824 3161920
Swap: 4198396 0 4198396
In Gparted it shows that I have the swap partition with not errors on both the hard drive of my computer and the USB drive. So this is making me think it is something to do with Ubuntu but I can't seem to find where anyone else is having this issue. If there is anymore information you need just let me know what and where to get it and I will do what I can. Thank you for your help!
