Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

Just had a quick look through your output.

Is the "Enable uSD Swaps" checkbox ticked in settings?

All seems fine apart from "mount-ops-overwrite"
This should be made "swap_sd="1" with the checkbox ticked.

You'll need to reboot to set the swap spaces correctly in FlopSwap

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

I have it ticked. I have rebooted twice. No matter what I click I get operation failed. If I click show current it informs me that 1p2 and 0p3 is in use. Conky shows 1.53 GB of swap which means probably sd and standard as I have boths swaps on sd of 800mb size. I also get a warning: please check only one swap active. I didn't change anything before upgrading to 1.0 and 1.1.

Edit:

I also did something like this - I took out the card and now it showed me the swap properly in flopswap. Then I put the card inside and after boot I still get 1.53 GB of swap and flopswap is not working.

Edit 2:

Now I think I know what is the problem. The program thinks that my two swaps are sd swap and mmc swap ans is switching between them. When I click swap to device I get no swap in conky. Freshing swap brings rotation begtween mmc swap and sd swap but previously it changed between my two sd swaps.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

Ok I will have to have a look and maybe rollback or reflash my device to CSSU-Testing packages.

I have been testing this on CSSU-Devel upstart/system-services and CSSU Stable (stock upstart) with no issues.

I am going away next week so maybe a little bit before I can figure it out.

Some things to try if you feel like testing in this order please:-

*Uninstall flopswap with "apt-get remove --purge flopswap"
Re-install and reboot to test.

*Un-check and Check "Enable uSD Swaps"
then cat /etc/default/mount-ops-overwrite
if it's swap_sd="1" reboot and test.

*Manually edit /etc/default/mount-ops-overwrite to swap_sd="1"
then reboot to test.

*Remove Flopswap as above upgrade Upstart packages to CSSU-Devel version then re-install.

FlopSwap will show "operation failed" if more than one swap is active, for some reason the upstart script has not swapoff'ed your 0p3 partition at boot. An alternative temporary workaround is to "swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p3" and flopswap should work again.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

I removed it and will try to nstall. Here is the output of purging:

Edit:

Purging resutled in conky seeing my 3 swaps as one, and after reboot 1,53 GB of swap.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

Yes that's fine, flopswap is designed to un-install cleanly. It should remove them files in the postrm script but the purge was to make sure nothing of flopswap was left and that the postrm script is working.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

Purging didn't help: reverting to 0.6 also is a no go. I will try to make the rest of your suggestions. I forgot to mentio that I'm on latest thumb.

Edit:

swap_sd is set to 1 but I still have 1.53 GB of swap. I do not want to install things from devel which could brake my N900. What to do now?

Edit 2

when I uncheck enable uSD swap flopswap works -well kinda. I can swap between one of the sd swap and normal swap. It only uses one swap. If I check it again I always get two swaps at one time and operation failed.

So basicly that option checked brakes flopswap and with it unchecked I can not swap between two sd swaps.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

Fair comment about CSSU-Devel. I see why you don't wish to try that.

After each step in the ordered list above you needed to reboot to test if that was successful.

You can re-install 0.0.6 from extras-testing and reboot, but I really would prefer to diagnose and fix any bugs than rollback to an old flawed version.
FlopSwap needs to move away from hardcoded values, really.

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

ok. Then I will stay with the latest version and will try to help.

I'm not so eager to tinker with experimental stuff like devel as after 3.5 years of tinkering, flashing, changing I'm very happy now with my setting.

I always did a reboot as suggetsed by you so there is a huge chance that it is not my foult that something doesnt work :)

Re: [Announce][Fremantle] FlopSwap - Swap GUI Management
 

I did a test and ticked the uSD box then turned off the phone. It didn't want to boot. Taking off the cover helped and it booted again. The box is checked but swaping goes only between the mmc and first sd swap.
