Swap space not enabled with start up

Please link to that other question you mention.
Show what you have in /etc/fstab

I'm sorry I' not too familiar with commands yet, I did the following: I feel a little silly, it must bewrong how i copy-pasted the commands?

bayla@Baylamoon:~$ /etc/fstab
bash: /etc/fstab: Toegang geweigerd
bayla@Baylamoon:~$ les/etc/fstab
bash: les/etc/fstab: Bestand of map bestaat niet
bayla@Baylamoon:~$

toegang geweigerd means access denied
bestand of map bestaat niet means file does not exist...

Here we go again (I mixed up 2 Q's..)

Ah, and the other info u asked 4:

You can see there is a UUID mismatch between what's actually on your swap partition (see blkid output) and what the computer looks for to use as swap (see /etc/fstab). You have to edit /etc/fstab and carefully replace the the UUID string on the swap entry. Start the nano editor with this command:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
