Hi Aere,

the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1227202 is in
the final-beta ISO's, if you are using an AMD/Intel 64 bit computer, you
can install a kernel with the proposed fix in it. There seems to be more
than one bug affecting zram and further investigations are ongoing.

Regards,

Phill.
