If you want to check which swap is or are active, you can just invoke "cat /proc/swaps". Here:
$ cat /proc/swaps



when I upgrade I'll have to comment out the new zram as well probably, but I know now where to look.

fsarchiver is the only program I've added (version 7 coming soon).

net applet &

and the xset adjustments were made and that's it.


These were solved just fine.

THX. and BG

p.s.  let's just comment out the start command (modprobe in this case) and further
info for that swap program in that file.   It's really easier for me.

For streaming internet radio, Clementine blows VLC away, VLC is ponderous and slow by comparison, and takes up waaaaaaay more space. VLC was cool on winders as it played everything, but it's not anything like lightweight, and Clementine has hundreds of internet radio stations pre-programmed.

VLC, wow, talk about living in 1981...LOL! :D


Hi Y'all,

I love the way VLC en-ques radio stations into a savable radio playlist so I can make a radio playlist database in this mature program.

Look at google.newsgroups.clementine..........Has a few bugs going on, plus some new features, etc..
I hope Tex can resolve issues with Clementine regarding ProjectM, or do a standalone ProjectM with beat detection (preferable) in the repo.  
Right now for my home system my only wish, and the only program
comparable to Windows, PCLinux could  match.   Our friends at Fedora and Suse can't get it to work
everyplace either it seems.   I think ProjectM should be standalone regardless of all the features of
Clementine.

I've started to use gnome mplayer (with gecko plugins) which is an older program (mplayer plugin only
appears to work best) with alot of success except for about half the Windows video's online I try.
But then again it doesn't have an equalizer and I can't sit here and eat taco chips without a 13 band
equalizer.

taco chips? what in tarnation are taco chips? ???

"y'all" is a contraction for "you all", a second-person plurality, and thus is inappropriate when referring to a single person ;)

yankees ::)

 :D :D

Bread without yeast made into chips, or similarly thin pizza dough.
My math was always better than my english but I usually get the
message across. 

Yankees, too !

Let's see what the next kernels will bring, regarding zram. All we will have to do is follow the new here, each time we are about to get a newer version kernel : http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/CompilingAndUsingNew
