Hi All,
Hoping this is the right section for this.?
I'm trying to find out how and where to disable "zram"
I have the following in dmesg.log file
From what I have been able to deduce, it was included from 12.04LTS onwards.
By default it allocates 50% of available ram to a Ram Swap device, here is what I have:
and
There is an additional configuration option available:Which is supposed to create "zram" device(s) based on number of cpu's & available memory.
However it got a bug...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...bug/996535
and it fails, and produces this in dmesg.log
I have un-installed the "zram-config", and I'm back to the original situation
To verify that it's not a "fixed" feature I checked on another Ubuntu based distro on my Laptop, Zorin.and
There is no base "zram" devices enabled, and no "zram" entries showing in dmesg.log
So how can I turn off the base "zram" configuration in LinuxLite..??
Many Thanks... David
