Re: [ubuntu-uk] [old topic i know, apologies] O2 Joggler - My success and a quick question please!
For those of you trying without any luck to get the O2 Joggler running Ubuntu, I have had success with a Black HP 4GB USB (from PC World, Leeds £9.99) and by using the image linked below, it works a lot smoother than the Netbook Remix image that is floating around, and leaves enough space on the disk to upgrade to Lucid (3 and a half hours wait mind - 2 1/2 to go!). http://fuzzylogic.co.uk/ I do have a question though... The Joggler provides about 1GB of free space internally to copy over images, videos etc, and I was wondering if it was possible to use this free space as swap space due to the Joggler's on board RAM being only approx 500MB - if possible this would surely only help performance?? [Apologies if that is an absolutely insane suggestion, still finding my feet with you Ubuntu pro's ;)] Thanks In Advance, MorleyPotter. attachment: face-wink.png-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Good luck with that! I haven't seen anyone run Lucid successfully on the Joggler. Be prepared to get a black screen, console or nothing when you reboot to lucid.

With your original question, it is possible to use the partition which stores everything.

It is located on: /dev/mmcblk0p4 I is not a good idea to use it as 'swap' space though is it? I understood that using flash for swap was not a good idea as it wears it out by writing to it often. Flash has a limited life in terms of write cycles.
