[announce] swappolube to lubricate your gui - Page 22 - maemo.org

Saturn, I have finally tried out swappolube, and find that it doesn't store the settings to /etc/event.d/tuning for me. I first tested swappiness 30 and cache pressure 50, opened again swappolube, selected the two values I had changed before, pressed "Store", but the tuning file just reads

Code:

description "N900 tuning"
author "swappolube editor"


console output

start on started hildon-desktop


script
end script

I'm using version 0.2.0-3.

Btw, if I select "Delete Tunings", the tuning file is still there. Is that how it should be (it's anyway rather empty for me).

Thanks for testing.

some questions.
- do you have rootsh installed?
- did you install the nogui version?
- if you delete manually the tuning file and then open the application and store, will it create a new tuning file?
- did you tick the checkboxes of the options you wanted to store?

Rootsh is installed, but I'm not sure any longer whether I had the nogui version installed and deinstalled before installing swappolube.

After manually deleting the tuning file, swappolube did write a correct tuning file, but only once. Clicking on "Delete Tunings" does not remove it, and also further changes on the settings are not stored.

And yes, I did tick the checkboxes.

EDIT: I've now upgraded to the extras-devel version, and with that I don't have the above problems. So I'd be in favor of promoting the new version to testing!

Don't really have a clue what went wrong in your case and the previous version.

Thanks for your feedback on the new version, I'll wait a couple more users to give the ok and will promote.

Other one is swappo with gui and other one is without. They rule eachother out.

If you want to tinker with the settings, install SwappoLubeGUI

question...: i just installed the GUI version. select the proposed and applied it. then tried to open it again then i have this message the current is loaded... and the proposed i applied is not applied?

i hope im making sense here... but why is it everytme i open the swappalube even if i already applied the proposed still i dont know if it was applied?

isnt it when you apply the proposed that will be the current one because its loaded? im i making sense?

and what about if i reboot the phone when the proposed is applied? will the proposed settings will still load?

thanks... great tweak BTW...

The file which executes swappolube mods at boot time is /etc/event.d/tuning - if this file is absent, you are sure that no mods are active.
Couldn't you see through the "top" command in xterm which processes are keeping your cpu active?
