This is expected behaviour within Lubuntu where the RAM overhead is
quite large compared to what lubuntu itself needs to run. Where this not
used, the minimal RAM for running a Live instance would be greater than
we currently state as required.

Title:
  gnome-disk-utilty does not allow swapoff of zram devices

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  To reproduce boot a lubuntu desktop image like wily image downloaded
  from zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20150524/wily-
  desktop-amd64.iso.zsync

  Then boot into the live session and select try lubuntu without installing and from the main menu open acessories gnome disks. Click on the /dev/zram devices which are create equal to` nproc ` will show up but if I boot this live session on a mchaine that has swap partitions I get a stop button to perform swapoff of the device. 
   swapon --summary outputs.

  Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
  Release:	15.10

  
  I expected the zram compressed ram device to be able to have the swap turned off in gnome-disks through the GUI. INstead I got options to format and benchamrk the zram device which don't work and nothing to swapoff the device.
