Hi all, Has anyone noticed that zram is a normal kernel module, which is not only enabled but also configured thanks to the zram-config scripts? I am asking because of the post you point to at the forum.
There would be a simple solution to satisfy all people : an additional script to enable and disable it at will, from within the system menus. I would not insist enough about the way it is configured actually, in the Ubuntu zram-config scripts. The system need a control over swappiness, and for zram smaller block devices. Really! In my T30 Lubuntu as of yesterday lags badly, whereas the Ubuntu Openbox Remix installed in it, with the setups I pointed to, is snappy! (Lubuntu does not use much more RAM btw). I suspect the setup, although I have not had time today to reconfigure it and retry. Regards, Mélodie PS: Lars, about your test with Thunderbird and Firefox, I'm not too much astonished: both are heavy... what about trying Sylpheed along with Midori in that 1 GB Macmini machine of your's? :) On Mon, 23 Sep 2013 23:17:43 +0100 Phill Whiteside <phi...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > Hi Joe, > > I have got the final beta installed fine with 512Mb of RAM in my VM system. > It is running 3.11.0-8.15 I pinged you on #ubuntu-kernel to check if the > fix had dribbled down into that .8-15 kernel. > > The issue as reported at > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2162655&p=12735571#post12735571 is > still there. > > Regards, > > Phill. > > > On 23 September 2013 17:14, Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisb...@canonical.com > > wrote: > > > On 09/21/2013 01:20 PM, Phill Whiteside wrote: > > > Lars, > > > > > > thanks for that.. can you update the bug.. there is the impossible > > > part of pulling in something from the 3.12 kernel.
