Comment 55 for bug 1246664

Hi,

On the T60 with 2 GB RAM it has ran during one hour, installing one by one several little games using the Software Center, and having firefox and htop running as well as pcmanfm. No problem met so far.

The now I am running the same machine and Ubuntu version with 512 MB ram and it swaps a little, while Software Center installs one more game, Firefox running, gThumbs opened, a console, a mousepad editor, and a "system benchmark and profiler" launched but not active.

It all works fine, with zram enabled and the generic version of the kernel.

$ uname -rv
3.2.0-57-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 21:38:12 UTC 2013

$ $ swapon -s

I enclose the file produced for this machine by checkbox-gtk and an additional file done with a "ps -ax" command can be viewed here: http://pastebin.fr/31732

I would be worth trying on the same machine with a pae version perhaps? I will install it and say tomorrow or the day after if no issue occurred with the 3.2.0-57-pae.

I don't have a machine to test others, but I will try to find someone who could have the relevant hardware.

Regards,
Mélodie
