linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi. I have natty and I have had many issues lately. I made a swap partition with 2.7 GB as I have 2GB ram. at first I did hav in e the option to hibernate "power options" but when I tried to restart from the the screen showed only a small raw of light points on top and I had to completely restart it. so I did couple of things like re-format swap. now its not showing hibernation option anymore and if I do "swapon -s" on terminal list is empty, then I go to gparted and I have the option swapon if I select the swap partition, the I do have that on the list for "swapon -s& (Hardware)

Swap not available 32 weeks 6 days ago

I am on Ubuntu 12.04, Thinkpad Edge 13, encrypted home. A message in the System Monitor tells me that swap is "not available". I can get it back using the swapon option in gparted (I thought I could also do sudo swapon -a in a terminal, but that does not work). The problem is that I have to swapon after every reboot. How can I switch it back on so it stays on even after a reboot?

Hi, I have Eee PC 1011CX running Ubuntu 12.4.1 LTS. I do not see hibernate option in power settings. I can see only "do nothing" or "suspend".

I encrypted my swap with ecryptfs-setup-swapand this produced the proper changes in /etc/fstab, too, i.e. the previous swap is now commented out and /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0was automatically added. So everything seems alright.

Hello there,

I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my lenovo G550. I created a logical partition using Partition Wizard then booted from a USB bootable Ubuntu that I had been trialling. Everything went well, I went with the "other" option when selecting how to install it - i found my partition, then split it into 3. One for /, one for /home, and one for /swap.

Ok, I set that thing up.First try running#swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda4 partition 2091004 103532 -1If you don't see any output, then you need to make/activate your swap partition. For that purpose use any partition tool like fdisk/cfdisk.

Swap file problem F12 3 years 17 weeks ago

I recently when through an exercise to shrink my Fedora 12 partition and lv from 200gb to 100gb. It took me a while to figure out all the things I had to do but I was successful, did not destroy my data and reclaimed 100mb for another OS.

... is pretty much the norm around this little corner of Dan's realm.

Here's the most recent example.

I think this problem might be related to this one:

Failing to recover from hibernate

Basically, as soon as ive installed ubuntu, using the automatic partitioning, if i run gparted and look at my disk partitions, my swap space is displayed as unknown, with an exclamation mark next to it:

Ok, next step, i manually assign the 'unknown' section to be a swap partition, and attempt to hibernate.

I've followed this but when I run:-

#swapon /swapfile1

I get::-

swapon: /swapfile1: swapon failed: Operation not permitted

The system is extremely slow with 1GB of RAM trying to run GUI + applications + FreeNX server. Any help is highly appreciated.
