I have Nokia 770 with OS 2006 on it.
I've been trying to
extend my memory card to be used as
additional virtual memory.
I used Control
panel->Memory->Virtual (tag). When I
choose either of sizes offered
(from 8 MB to 32 MB in my case) and
press 'OK' it displays an
error window 'Unable to create virtual
memory'. What might be
wrong here? And also, what this built-in
option actually does?
It resizes or creates a file ".swap" on
the memory card. Could be you
have a ".swap" there already, created as
a root and then it can't touch
it.
I checked the /media/mmc1 directory and I do not
have a .swap file there. The problem is still unresolved.

It is hard to tell. Best would be to describe the
problem in finer detail (e.g. do you get the error message immediately
or after some activity being show, etc.) In general, a bug report would
be a good place to follow this:
https://maemo.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=haf
component general, assign it to me or at least notify me
of the bug number ;)
I think I found the root of my problem. It is my memory card
which somehow does not have write access to it. It says ' Read-only file
system' whenever I try to write any file to it. So, definitely it is not
able to create a swap file there and extend virtual memory. Now I am
wondering if formatting the card would solve the issue.
I have another tablet and creating a swap file there was
successful. So, I did not add a bug to bugzilla because the problem is
not related to the device itself.
Best Regards,
Andrey
Good to hear ;-)
Happy holidays to all of you and see you guys next year :-D (leaving the
office in 5 minutes)
