I see what you mean. UUID, though correctly indicated in fstab, failed
to be recognized after the first time around. So I used /dev/sdc5, and
the swap works just fine. By default, Ubuntu uses UUID to indicate
partitions. Would you recommend I switch from UUID to /dev/sda1 for
the home partition, too, in fstab? I have no partitions except home
and swap, so it's a very simple setup.

No problem. I will work on that, thanks.
