zRAM not Swaping - revox - 04-01-2017
I installed zRAM through Synaptic Package Manager.
When I do a .......
[sub]cat /proc/swaps[/sub]
I get ..........
[sub]Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda5 partition 3981308 0 -1
/dev/zram0 partition 752016 0 5
/dev/zram1 partition 752016 0 5
[/sub]
Looks like the Swap is not used...
I did this after install.....
[sub]gksudo leafpad /etc/sysctl.conf[/sub]
AND added this .......
[sub]# Decrease swap usage to a more reasonable level
vm.swappiness=50[/sub]
Any Help Appreciated.

You've got 3GB RAM in your system. You'll not see zRAM swapping until it really needs to. With 2GB+ RAM, zRAM will not make much of an impact in your system.
Here are few things you can do in the meantime:
1- In /etc/sysctl.conf change swappiness to 10
vm.swappiness=10
2- From LiteTweaks, install preload
Restart and open your most common applications a couple time at least. Give a little bit of time for preload to kick in. Just because you do not see zRAM swapping already it does not mean that's a bad thing or that its broken.
