[Lubuntu-qa] [zram-config] Bugs found in Vivid

Hello, I am testing in Bento Openbox remix, however it might affect the official editions as well, as zram-config isn't related to the upper graphic layers. Here are the reports: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zram-config/+bug/1449665 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zram-c

[Lubuntu-qa] Zram

Hi Julien, following on from the bug that occurred in 13.10, a lot of work behind the scenes has been done by both Leszek and Mélodie. As the use of ZRam is more of a dev area, do you think that the contents of http://pastebin.com/fb26FHuE should be turned into a wiki page "for further information

As some of you know there were some discussions on this mailinglist regarding zram and vm.swappiness. In this mail I want to write down all I know and learned about zram, vm.swappiness and its cooperation. This is intend as a help and a starting point for discussions for the next release of Lubuntu

Hi Lars, 1. Working system with zRAM I have been running a system with the kernel that Joseph Salisbury gave to us some week ago (3.11.0.7-generic #14~lp1227202v1 SMP Wed Sep 18). I have used it a lot with all memory and limited by the boot option mem. And I use it with zram. It has never frozen

hi Nio, he is running Raring. The bug we see in Saucy on 1227202 is totally un-related to the sudo parted -l issue. Getting the race issue sorted out on un-mounting the zram areas is what the bug fix is. With all the tests I've done, the Error: /dev/zram0: unrecognised disk label Error: /dev/z

On today's second re-spin, there is a new kernel. It was going to be held until after A2, but as that would meant both our A2's going immediately obsolete on release and the last thing holding it back was resolved, they tagged it on straight after I requested the respin for the lightdm issue. If z

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] zRAM does not start in Lubuntu Saucy desktop alpha 2 32-bit

I will take a look at it. Normally only the zram-config package should be the reason. But also the Kernel might ship an newer/older Version or it was removed even from it.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] zRAM for the Alternate Install?

Hi Jackson, I suggest that you test the desktop installer in one of your old machines at 256 MB RAM with and without swap to disk (prepared before the installer is started). It is valuable to have several test results to find good and bad properties of zRAM, and to have more data for the new reco
