You don't think zswap could be the cause of my problem watching videos in the browser?

Don't ask. Disable and try. But for sure not.

That's the opposite of what my mother taught me <grin>. Remember the first time you put your finger in a flame to see what would happen?

I was thinking of putting nozswap into extlinux.conf to see if that would improve video playing in my browser. Then I thought: suppose it doesn't and I want to re-activate zswap? Does removing nozswap from extlinux.conf re-create the zswap file? If not, how will I do that?

In other words, better to ask than to get into a bunch of trouble.

Cheers!

Misalf:
zswap always gets enabled at boot if not explicitely disabled by the  nozswap  boot code.
You can safely add the  nozswap  to your boot loader and remove it to 're-enable' zswap.

Instead of editing your bootloaders config file, you can also just press TAB (for syslinux, extlinux, etc.) in the boot menu and edit the boot parameters without saving it to the config file.

Mike,

what I told:

TC is all about learning and experimenting. What is better than to get hands on knowledge than reading books? At the end of the day you have to try anyhow to see wheter it helps or not.

Hi, Béla.

You are right of course, in most situations, and I agree with you. For example, I have been reading the sections in Corebook about using Apps and tc-ab and tce-load, but no matter how many times I re-read them I still have to try to use them in order to understand how they work.

OTOH, there are many things that TCL does automatically, or by default, and unless I know how to un-do them I don't like to tamper with them. I just don't know enough yet.

Cheers!

Mike
