I am using pinguyos 11.10. Pinguyos is a variant of Ubuntu 11.10.I have installed zram like this:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shnatsel/zramsudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install zramswap-enablerBut zram doesnot start automatically upon startup. I have to manually say: service zramswap start to make it start. Before and after enabling zramswap manually free gives this:Before:             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cachedMem:       2061184    1165240     895944          0      31632     559816-/+ buffers/cache:     573792    1487392Swap:            0          0          0After:             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cachedMem:       2061184    1217888     843296          0      33136     567232-/+ buffers/cache:     617520    1443664Swap:      2061176          0    2061176And I have no physical swap partitions enabled.. so does this make any difference?Is a swap partition necessary for zramswap to work?P.S Until I start the service manually, there is no zram0,zram1 in /devThanks for any help in advance.
Zram does not start at start-up
swap;zram
Run sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc.local and modify the file to contain your service zramswap start command. This should run the command at the end of the boot process.
