[novel meteor]

Thanks
It Worked For me ☺

[midnight holly]

and does it show enough information to satisfy your initial question?

[novel meteor]

Yes

[midnight holly]

0.6 GiB (4 - 3.4) might be shared to video card

swap file is bit heavy now

[novel meteor]

This is Normal ?

[midnight holly]

i think so

[novel meteor]

So, Now I need to Mark this SOLVED !

[midnight holly]

ok then

check htop for uptime

or , simply do uptime

if been many days, reboot or shutdown

[novel meteor]

09:07:17 up 14 min, 1 user, load average: 0.42, 0.80, 0.89

Just 14 Min

[midnight holly]

do you have 10,000 browser tabs open rn?

why swap so heavy in use?

[novel meteor]

No, Just 2 Terminal and One software (Local Send)

[midnight holly]

that's a bit concerning,

i would recommend:

cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

what is it at?

[novel meteor]

Oh, Sorry
Another Thing Running on Terminal

[midnight holly]

this will display swappiness level

[novel meteor]

MOBSF

[midnight holly]

open 2nd terminal

or second tab

[novel meteor]

I mean I am using a Mobile Security Framework. This can be the Reason ?

[midnight holly]

idk

[novel meteor]

60

[midnight holly]

kind of too high it seems

even tho default

sudo xed /etc/sysctl.conf

run that for xed editor

then write this at bottom in text file : vm.swappiness = 10

on its own line.

then save and reboot, and should be better for you

[novel meteor]

Now, This show 10

[midnight holly]

oh u rebooted eh?

[novel meteor]

Yes

[midnight holly]

show htop

[midnight holly]

and free -h plz

[midnight holly]

you did this immediately after htop right?

[novel meteor]

yes

[midnight holly]

ok .

so htop says 781 MB used. that is the true amount

all good then.

[novel meteor]
