Core Plus - Ram full

[alouestn1]

Hello,
I have a computer with a Pentium 166 Mhz MMX and 80 Mo of Ram.
When the window manager launch, the Ram is full.
Can I disable some extensions to win memory ?

Do you have a swap file?

Swap file is use as a Ram ?

Is this live or installed? You should install to HD, and only what you need, it should perform better than the live cd.

Yes

Maybe there is a misunderstanding of Linux RAM use. There is 35.7M cached which is a not a used memory in conventional terms and can be used by apps. Of cource you need more memory including swap.

Thanx for fast reply Juanito

The Core plus installed on hard disk.

You should install to HD, and only what you need

How can I choose only what I need to install ?

I have a swap partition. I don't know if it used.
How Can i see if there is a swap file ?

Use command free in a terminal.

Code: [Select]

cat /proc/swaps would show details and help differentiating between zram, swapfile, swap partition.
And please prefer posting text, rather than screenshots of terminal.

[alouestn1]

Code: (bash) [Select]

tc@box:~$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/zram0                              partition 14492 0 -1
/dev/sda2                               partition 297196 0 -2

Not same as what showed in earlier screenshot, but this should be more than sufficient for 80MB of RAM.

Also, looking at your screenshot, it is not at all clear what your issue is, as swap usage is 0.

The screenshot with "top" command was with the Wifi support.
I reinstalled meanwhile without Wifi support
The screenshot with "cat /proc/swaps" command is now without Wifi support.
I have 15236k free Mem.

When I try to launch Epiphany web browser, it exit with this errors : (the GUI not start).

Code: (bash) [Select]

touch: /usr/local/tce.installed/gnome-icon-theme: No space left on device
mkdir: can't create directory '/tmp/tcloop/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic': No space left on device
mount: can't setup loop device: No space left on device
Before I launch Epiphany I have 14108K free Mem.
After I launch Epiphany I have 3464K free Mem.

How can I copy the text in from shell to the editor ? What are the shortcuts keys ?
