I'm using FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 2200 (for over 1 year). OOo has started crashing when working with inserting large picture files (although I've worked with them in the past without problem). I noticed in xosview that the physical memory (0.5GB) quickly goes up near the maximum and then OOo exits. I also noticed that the swap space (which I believe is about 1GB) always shows exactly zero. (On a 2gb memory dual opteron system, xosview reports 845mb.) Shouldn't xosview show some swap space being used? Here is the partition table reported by fdisk: Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 6 48163+ de Dell Utility /dev/hda2 * 7 2556 20482875 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda3 6920 7295 3020220 db CP/M / CTOS / ... /dev/hda4 2557 6919 35045797+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 2557 2569 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda6 2570 2697 1028128+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda7 2698 6919 33913183+ 8e Linux LVM Any ideas on how I can check on whether swap is being used and/or turn sway back on if it is actually not being used?
