Hello, It's been a week using it daily in my machine now, and the script works a treat: $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda6 partition 4607996 0 -1 /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 /dev/zram1 partition 947216 0 5 $
As sayd in the previous comment, I had to blacklist zram to prevent it from being default loaded during boot time. I added this to my blacklist.conf file: *************** # cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf # This file lists those modules which we don't want to be loaded by # alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the # device instead. # zram should not be loaded during boot time blacklist zram *************** Now how do we push this information to the Ubuntu kernel dev team? Best regards, Mélodie ** Description changed: - [Impact] - * People using some non English locale, zram devices are not loaded - * The service fails to stop and unloading zram module as well + [Impact] + * People using some non English locale, zram devices are not loaded + * The service fails to stop and unloading zram module as well + + //who wrote this?

It seems to stop fine but throws an error when starting again or performing a restart. I have installed zram-config 0.3 just today and haven't rebooted yet. The CPU is "AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 260 Processor" As stated in bug #1449665 there is one block device created: $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 $ Here: $ sudo systemctl stop zram-config $ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/zram0 partition 947216 0 5 $ after the stop, the prompt is back without error, but it has done nothing. With restart: $ sudo systemctl restart zram-config Job for zram-config.service failed. See "systemctl status zram-config.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. $ When invoking the suggested commands: **** $ LANG=C systemctl status zram-config.service -l * zram-config.service - Initializes zram swaping Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zram-config.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2015-04-28 19:34:37 CEST; 2min 7s ago Process: 744 ExecStart=/usr/bin/init-zram-swapping (code=exited, status=255) Main PID: 744 (code=exited, status=255) Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: sh: echo: I/O error Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: mkswap: error: /dev/zram0 is mounted; will not make swapspace Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: swapon: /dev/zram0 : échec de swapon: Périphérique ou ressource occupé Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping: 21: /usr/bin/init-zram-swapping: cannot create /sys/block/zram1/disksize: Directory nonexistent Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: /dev/zram1: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 init-zram-swapping[744]: swapon: stat failed /dev/zram1: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 systemd[1]: zram-config.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a Apr 28 19:34:37 bento64 systemd[1]: Failed to start Initializes zram swaping.
