My mother (bless her heart) always told me not to pick at scabs. This installer thing is like a scab because I can't stop pick pick picking. :) BTW, has anyone updated the wiki to say that you can't use the 32-bit ISO's on secure boot pc's? :( -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.

Ali, thanks for testing the manual partitioner. That's where I first consistently reproduced the out-of-memory crashing. If anyone wants to benchmark ZRAM on hardware... I found this: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/Iozone -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modi

it's a fragmentation problem. Linux apps will be supporting 1 of the following: X11, MIR or Wayland. This question is probably better asked on the LXDE mailing list. Cheers, karl -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubun

:) Hi Phil! I believe that people with the best info should make the decisions. I am simply trying to provide options. Also, my instructional video on the alternate installer is up to 3800 views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi-VPj4jzrg -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu

I've only ever had crashes when using the manual partitioner. how many of those tests were using the manual partitioner to move the swap partition? I found a user complaint in the last month about this issue (i can't prove the cause obviously): http://askubuntu.com/questions/282256/why-wont-lubunt

I honestly think zram could help during the one-time graphical installation of Lubuntu on 512MB pcs. In fact, edubuntu included zram in that distribution for that exact reason. We could eliminate crashing and the need to delete the slideshow to install. On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 10:07 AM, Ali Linx
