Thank you to dac922 for the suggestion "service zram-config stop". I believe this will be a great interim work around for me, allowing me to use FVWM (which I like, due to the 9 desktops).
I still want to know about what script to edit, to lower the size of zram0, so that it doesn't try to allocate 314224 sectors.

First one was while running Virtualbox (windows guest) but later have been without virtualbox running for example while shutting down or while reading a webpage. I could not find any relevant log, but I'd post any log file considered useful. This has hapened in 2 different machines (the one im reporting from is intel with intel graphics and the other is AMD with radeon graphics). Both 64 bits. Up until 3.8.0-27 inclusive I had not had a lockup in years in any of those machines. I have been running Ubuntu 64 bit since at least 2008 in one of them.
