Thread: Help needed: Adding swap in 12.04

-

i dual booted system run both windows 7 , ubuntu 12.04. have 4gb of ram, did not think necessary add separate partition/ file i've been told people should have swap 'just in case'.
however, i've noticed music player qmmp/rhythmbox takes unusually long time load media library (about 40k songs/ 200 gbs). on average, takes little on half hour whereas same library scan in less 2-3 minutes on windows winamp.

also, maximum data transfer speed while copying file 1 drive other in range of 24 mb/sec 3 times lower windows speed.

want know if these issues because of not specifying swap. if yes, want know how add swap without having reinstall, if possible. prefer have swap file rather dedicated partition. currently, have windows, ubuntu on same drive, 70gb left on separate parttion on same drive. ideally, swap file should located on partition.

main use of system browsing , listening music. little bit of 2d , 3d rendering, i'm used photoshop , 3ds max, switch on windows when need use these applications.

please understand i've been using ubuntu on 2 years, usage has been limited browsing , listening music, , i'm not familiar terminal @ all. also, new unity interface, although nice , different, has thrown me @ loss because i've been used mouse-way time.

appreciated. lot.

no, issues have nothing swap. rather, think disk performance issue, though can't put finger on it.

adding swap not you, in case. 4gb of ram, don't need it, not unless plan use hibernate.
