I still don't think that the required testing should be done by us, but in the interest of solving this issue I did the following:
- I removed the line in sysctl.conf that set swappiness at 10 (a line that I had put in previously myself); - reboot - checked swappiness: it was at 60 again - I installed the newest available kernel, kernel 2.6.35-020635rc1-generic - reboot: failed, because of monitor "out of range" - reboot in Recovery Mode, which also failed because of monitor "out of range" - reboot with kernel option "nomodeset", which was succesful - In the terminal: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, which gave 60. So the problem still exists in the newest kernel. See the attached screenshot of the terminal commands and their results. ** Attachment added: "Schermafdruk.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49600688/Schermafdruk.png ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing -- bad default swappiness for desktop systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
