Why do you blame swap when the log you pasted quite clearly shows that it succeeded? Please post your full /etc/fstab and the output of blkid.

During the booting screen it clearly states [Failed] at Activating Swap. I'll try to attach a screenshot later.

You have a device in fstab that doesn't exist (as per blkid). If you were to add noauto to the UUID=F82C-70DD source entry, you'd likely see this "Activating swap" failure go away.

You are correct. I find it strange however that the Failed message is shown at the Activating Swap line, while the corresponding fstab line is about an external device.

I assure you it's a visual "off by one" error.
