Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Feedback Needed] zram-config

Hi, there is much mis understanding about swap. Every one *seems* to think it is only used when physical RAM is exhausted. it is *NOT*. Linux will use swap to 'swap out' areas that are not being actively used according to their "swappiness" I give you one simple example from my server. Mem:

I'm saying this just personally, not with any backup... But, my brother's camera is a 'silly' pixel size (10 G) Try open that on a computer with 8G that has no swap I suspect it may fail. When I open them in raw format on my 4G machine... swap (and I mean hard drive swap as well) gets REAL

I am not sure about machines with 4+ GB RAM. If that much memory is full, then the cpu core(s) is/are busy for sure: maybe transcoding a video or a game where the AI needs to be computed and the cpu should call as much frame as possible. In such situations where the cpu is busy it shouldn't need

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Feedback Needed] zram-config

I don't get your Problem Ali. I thought you tested out zram and I explained how it technicaly worked. If the unamed Community you are working together with still does not see the benefit then they maybe don't know what you are talking about and simply don't understand the technical background.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Feedback Needed] zram-config

Hi Ali, as your motto staes, all of us are smarter than one. If any team from any linux distro finds Z-RAM to be useful - it is for them to test and then add it if it proves useful. Just the same as it is for, say, each distro to choose their default browser :) I hope that puts your mind at rest,

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Feedback Needed] zram-config

Hi, z-RAM is a part of lubuntu desktop, it has been found to be useful and will continue to be a part of lubuntu until such time as its usefulness is gone (i.e. goes unsupported / has a major bug). As to it getting into the alternate for a try out before feature-freeze; that is for the devs to dec

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Feedback Needed] zram-config

Hello Ali (et. al), I think you need to understand something. 1. You shouldn't base zRAM results on Lubuntu. You should base results on the flavour that the community mentioned has created. 2. The community you mentioned is rather conservative. They don't like to add things without detailed plan

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Feedback Needed] zram-config

1. No 2. No 3. No 4. 4GB in a virtual machine. Notebook has 8GB 5. No, not direct. Maybe it affects the pf-kernel which has no zram. 6. For machines like my one absolutely not necessary. Could impact performance for games or other situations where the cpu is more or less at 100% usage. Jörn

Dear Members of Lubuntu Community, As all of you know, zram-config has been added by default to Saucy Build for Lubuntu - special thank to Leszek Lesner, the one who suggested to add it by default [1] - and some of the community did many tests and shared the results and I was one of those [2]. A
