Adam, thank you very much for the time you took to solve it and help me with my issue. I confirm this was it. Before calling it a night I wanted to check and reboot -of course I had removed zram from the blacklist.conf file, had edited initramfs.conf as you instructed, and updated the initrd.
Now the zram-conf script work normally. ***** $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda6 partition 4607996 0 -1 /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 /dev/zram1 partition 947216 0 5 ***** Just for information, I will add that my sytem is using French locales, so non English locales. And from what I can read at #1448530 the latest version of the zram-config package has also solved it for them. Good, I guess we can call it a day! :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449678 Title: (Vivid) zram-config 0.3 Job for zram-config.service failed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in zram-config package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Vivid: Invalid Status in zram-config source package in Vivid: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] * People using some non English locale, zram devices are not loaded * The service fails to stop and unloading zram module as well //who wrote this? The impact is probably for all languages including English. The new version works : provided zram module is blacklisted to avoid being loaded during boot! See my next comment which will be #13. Thanks, Mélodie [Test Case] * Install the new zram-config package * Reboot and check that the zram devices are created: $ swapon -s -> returns some zram devices * $ sudo systemctl status -l zram-config.service -> no error * Stop the service: $ sudo systemctl stop zram-config.service * $ sudo systemctl status -l zram-config.service -> no error * swapon -s -> no more zram device listed [Regression Potential] * Services loading change may impact English-local user. However, the fix has already been confirmed to be working on wily. * Stopping the service was already failing on unloading the module, so no additional regression is possible there. -------------------- Hi, While testing how zram-config is going in Ubuntu Vivid, I meet with error while doing restart and or stop/start. It seems to stop fine but throws an error when starting again or performing a restart. I have installed zram-config 0.3 just today and haven't rebooted yet. The CPU is "AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 260 Processor" As stated in bug #1449665 there is one block device created: $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 $ Here: $ sudo systemctl stop zram-config $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 $ after the stop, the prompt is back without error, but it has done nothing. With restart: $ sudo systemctl restart zram-config Job for zram-config.service failed. See "systemctl status zram-config.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. $ When invoking the suggested commands: **** $ LANG=C systemctl status zram-config.service -l * zram-config.service - Initializes zram swaping Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zram-config.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2015-04-28 19:34:37 CEST; 2min 7s ago Process: 744 ExecStart=/usr/bin/init-zram-swapping (code=exited, status=255) Main PID: 744 (code=exited, status=255) Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: sh: echo: I/O error Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: mkswap: error: /dev/zram0 is mounted; will not make swapspace Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: swapon: /dev/zram0 : échec de swapon: Périphérique ou ressource occupé Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping: 21: /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping: cannot create /sys/block/zram1/disksize: Directory nonexistent Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: /dev/zram1: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: swapon: stat failed /dev/zram1: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 systemd[1]: zram-config.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 systemd[1]: Failed to start Initializes zram swaping.
