Hi,
I recently installed ubuntu 8.04 on a usb stick, and I am pretty sure I did not setup / define a partition when I went to do a manual install from the livecd. I'm a newbie.
Now, when I Suspend, it won't wake back up.. my mouse lights up, but the usb stick does not light up. I tried to hibernate, then I get this error message:
[177.036387] i8042 aux 00:07 activation failed
[177.584950] swsusp: cannot find swap device, try swapon -a
Do I really need a swap thingy? I was thinking of using tmpfs (so I've read) so that I can prolong my usb stick. Even with tmpfs, do I still need to define a swap thingy?
Anyone have a laptop and has successfully used tmpfs? I tried to google, but I'm not sure what the tmpfs command options do..I've also read about compatibility issues. what about ramfs?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.
