| MrIndeed | hey guys, i have no swap on ubuntu 14.04. It making my pc slow | 11:21 |
| popey | not having swap doesn't make your pc slow. | 11:25 |
| MrIndeed | no, before when i had swap my computer was working fine. Now, without it i have open 10 tabs on chrome and my pc tend to freeze | 11:27 |
| MrIndeed | *i cant open 10 tabs | 11:27 |
| popey | Typically when you have no swap and you run low on ram, things will start to get killed | 11:28 |
| MrIndeed | by any chance, how can i add swap | 11:28 |
| popey | how did you remove it? | 11:28 |
| MrIndeed | i dont remember... | 11:29 |
| popey | did you have some, which you disabled, or did you install without it? | 11:30 |
| MrIndeed | i remember having swap when i installed ubuntu | 11:30 |
| popey | in a terminal, type this command and paste the output | 11:30 |
| popey | sudo fdisk -l | 11:30 |
| popey | it will list all partitions on all disks | 11:31 |
| MrIndeed | Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders, total 156250000 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000b63 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 3905535 1951744 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 | 11:31 |
| popey | so you still have some swap configured | 11:40 |
| popey | MrIndeed: can you paste the contents of /etc/fstab to http://paste.ubuntu.com please | 11:41 |
| MrIndeed | do i click on paste? | 11:41 |
| popey | yeah, put a nickname in and paste | 11:43 |
| popey | it will give you a url | 11:43 |
| popey | let me have that url | 11:43 |
| MrIndeed | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10220251/ | 11:43 |
| popey | you have lots of linux installs? | 11:46 |
| popey | can you :- | 11:46 |
| popey | cat /etc/fstab | 11:46 |
| popey | and put that on pastebin? | 11:46 |
| MrIndeed | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10220349/ | 11:47 |
| popey | ok, so see line 19? | 11:51 |
| popey | the # in front of it means it's commented out | 11:51 |
| popey | you could edit the file, remove that single # from that line and save it, then reboot and you're done. | 11:51 |
| popey | So, to edit the file:- | 11:51 |
| popey | sudo nano /etc/fstab | 11:52 |
| popey | (this will ask for your password) | 11:52 |
| MrIndeed | okay | 11:52 |
| MrIndeed | what should i edit | 11:52 |
| popey | go down to line 19 (the one that has #UUID=6bf84c3d-00ce-4e5e-9f01-b191c1125b2d none swap sw 0 0 | 11:53 |
| popey | its the only line with # in front of UUID | 11:53 |
| popey | just use cursor arrows to move to that line, and get rid of the hash only | 11:53 |
| popey | then when done, press CTRL+X to save and exit | 11:53 |
| MrIndeed | so i make #UUID=6bf84c3d-00ce-4e5e-9f01-b191c1125b2d to UUID=6bf84c3d-00ce-4e5e-9f01-b191c1125b2d | 11:54 |
| popey | yes | 11:54 |
| MrIndeed | it says "There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." | 11:55 |
| popey | did you ctrl+x to close nano? | 11:56 |
| popey | and say "yes" when it asks to save? | 11:56 |
| MrIndeed | when it says save modified buffer do i type yes or do i press y | 11:57 |
| popey | yes, then enter | 11:57 |
| MrIndeed | it still says swap not available | 11:58 |
| popey | what says that? | 11:59 |
| MrIndeed | system monitor | 12:00 |
| popey | ok. editing the file is one part | 12:00 |
| popey | there's two other things. | 12:00 |
| popey | 1) reboot for the change to take effect | 12:00 |
| popey | or | 12:00 |
| popey | and/or | 12:00 |
| popey | 2) type this command to activate swap immediately:- | 12:00 |
| popey | sudo swapon -a | 12:00 |
| MrIndeed | which one is the best option | 12:01 |
| popey | well, do "sudo swapon -a" now, to test | 12:03 |
| popey | and then run system monitor | 12:03 |
| popey | if it says you have swap then you're done. | 12:03 |
| popey | the reboot isn't _required_ it's just the quick-and-dirty way to make the change you made take effect | 12:03 |
| MrIndeed | swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=6bf84c3d-00ce-4e5e-9f01-b191c1125b2d swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: stat failed: No such file or directory | 12:03 |
| popey | oh dear | 12:03 |
| popey | do you have lots of linux installs on that machine? | 12:03 |
| popey | oh, no, just one, with lots of partitions? | 12:04 |
| MrIndeed | one with lots of partitions | 12:04 |
| popey | what if you "sudo swapon /dev/sda1" ? | 12:04 |
| MrIndeed | swapon: /dev/sda1: read swap header failed: Invalid argument | 12:05 |
| popey | ok, lets undo the change we made | 12:06 |
| popey | sudo nano /etc/fstab | 12:06 |
| popey | put the # back on line 19 | 12:06 |
| MrIndeed | how do i save | 12:08 |
| popey | ctrl+x | 12:08 |
| MrIndeed | it wont close | 12:09 |
| MrIndeed | the nano | 12:09 |
| popey | what does it say when you do ctrl+x? | 12:09 |
| MrIndeed | save modified file | 12:10 |
| popey | so, say "yes" then enter | 12:10 |
| MrIndeed | oh | 12:11 |
| MrIndeed | okay | 12:11 |
| popey | MrIndeed: what happens if you run "sudo swapon -s" ? | 12:17 |
| MrIndeed | FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority | 12:18 |
| popey | thats it? | 12:18 |
| popey | what about when you run "dmesg | grep swap" ? | 12:18 |
| MrIndeed | nothing | 12:19 |
| popey | hmm | 12:20 |
| popey | we can reformat your swap partition, which should fix it. | 12:21 |
| popey | sudo mkfs.swap /dev/sda1 | 12:22 |
| popey | ^ that will format the swap partition | 12:22 |
| DJones | Just a thought, is the uud correct for the swap partion | 12:22 |
| DJones | s/uud/uuid/ | 12:22 |
| popey | well it can't even manually mount it | 12:22 |
| popey | 12:05 < MrIndeed> swapon: /dev/sda1: read swap header failed: Invalid argument | 12:22 |
| DJones | Right | 12:23 |
| MrIndeed | eh | 12:23 |
| MrIndeed | sudo mkfs.swap /dev/sda1 sudo: mkfs.swap: command not found | 12:23 |
| popey | oops | 12:24 |
| popey | my bad | 12:24 |
| popey | sudo mkswap /dev/sda1 | 12:24 |
| popey | so, run that, and it will format your swap partition | 12:27 |
| popey | then you should be able to run:- | 12:27 |
| popey | sudo swapon /dev/sda1 | 12:27 |
| popey | and it should be active? | 12:28 |
| MrIndeed | Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1951740 KiB no label, UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 | 12:28 |
| MrIndeed | oh yes | 12:28 |
| MrIndeed | it worked | 12:28 |
| popey | ok, thats okay for this session | 12:28 |
| popey | but we need to edit /etc/fstab again to make it permanent | 12:28 |
| popey | so:- | 12:29 |
| popey | sudo nano /etc/fstab | 12:29 |
| popey | add a new line:- | 12:29 |
| MrIndeed | make a new line? | 12:29 |
| popey | UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:29 |
| popey | ya | 12:29 |
| MrIndeed | where do i put this new line | 12:30 |
| popey | anywhere | 12:30 |
| popey | it doesn't matter | 12:30 |
| MrIndeed | at the buttom | 12:30 |
| popey | thats fine | 12:30 |
| popey | once you have added that line, we need to remove another line | 12:30 |
| MrIndeed | okay | 12:30 |
| popey | add a # to the /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 line | 12:31 |
| popey | to the start | 12:31 |
| MrIndeed | to this "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0" | 12:32 |
| popey | ya | 12:32 |
| MrIndeed | #/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:32 |
| popey | looks good. | 12:32 |
| MrIndeed | and than save it? | 12:32 |
| popey | yes | 12:33 |
| MrIndeed | done | 12:33 |
| popey | you should be good now. we can test it though | 12:34 |
| popey | first, we can temporarily disable swap in this session:- | 12:34 |
| MrIndeed | lets do that | 12:34 |
| popey | sudo swapoff /dev/sda1 | 12:34 |
| MrIndeed | okay | 12:34 |
| popey | then we can test the config you edited:- | 12:34 |
| popey | sudo swapon -a | 12:34 |
| MrIndeed | swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 | 12:35 |
| popey | wat | 12:35 |
| MrIndeed | i know | 12:35 |
| popey | this uuid stuf is nonsense :) | 12:35 |
| popey | ok, edit the file again | 12:36 |
| popey | sudo nano /etc/fstab | 12:36 |
| popey | we can do it the old school way | 12:36 |
| popey | change the line from UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 none swap sw 0 0 to... | 12:36 |
| popey | /dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:36 |
| MrIndeed | wait, did you tell me to put a '# on the new line | 12:36 |
| MrIndeed | to this | 12:36 |
| MrIndeed | sudo nano /etc/fstab | 12:36 |
| MrIndeed | UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:37 |
| popey | no, that line should look as you have it | 12:37 |
| popey | just to confirm | 12:37 |
| popey | do you want to paste the current state of it to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 12:37 |
| popey | so we can see where we are? | 12:37 |
| MrIndeed | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10220964/ | 12:37 |
| popey | i see nothing wrong there | 12:38 |
| popey | but screw it, lets change it (or comment that line out and make a new one) | 12:38 |
| popey | dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:38 |
| popey | er | 12:38 |
| popey | /dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:38 |
| MrIndeed | make a new line | 12:39 |
| popey | ya | 12:39 |
| MrIndeed | okay did that | 12:39 |
| popey | ok, save | 12:39 |
| popey | then try "sudo swapon -a" again? | 12:39 |
| MrIndeed | no luck | 12:40 |
| MrIndeed | swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 | 12:40 |
| popey | uh | 12:40 |
| MrIndeed | wait | 12:41 |
| popey | did you comment that line out?:) | 12:41 |
| popey | (you need to # out that line) | 12:41 |
| MrIndeed | swap showed up on system moniter | 12:41 |
| popey | ok, so the last line worked, but it barfed on the UUID line | 12:41 |
| popey | so you still need to comment that | 12:41 |
| popey | by "comment" I mean put # in front of it | 12:41 |
| MrIndeed | on what line | 12:41 |
| popey | UUID=5b796113-7280-4ac7-9080-1c115a727b90 none swap sw 0 0 | 12:41 |
| popey | that one should have # in front | 12:42 |
| MrIndeed | okay | 12:42 |
| popey | I think we're done? | 12:43 |
| MrIndeed | do we test? | 12:43 |
| popey | sure | 12:43 |
| popey | sudo swapoff /dev/sda1 | 12:43 |
| popey | sudo swapon -a | 12:44 |
| MrIndeed | it works!!! | 12:44 |
| popey | \o/ | 12:44 |
| popey | Great success. | 12:44 |
| MrIndeed | one more thing, should swap remain at 0%? | 12:45 |
| popey | it gets used as needed | 12:45 |
| MrIndeed | you are awesome mate | 12:46 |
| popey | heh | 12:46 |
| popey | thanks | 12:46 |
| MrIndeed | break a leg | 12:46 |
| popey | \o/ | 12:46 |
| brobostigon | ubuntu on click, :) | 12:49 |

| knightwise | Ive had some issues with wifi chipsets and my brand of router before (when I installed ubuntu on my macbook pro) | 18:24 |
| knightwise | to be sure i've setup a second wifi access point with a different chipset and set to BG only. | 18:25 |
