I want to know if it is possible to increase swap memory in Ubuntu 14.04. How is it possible?

Another question:

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop (ASUS)...When I'm working with it and open URL pages and doing something else the speed start decreasing and speed quality is not satisfactory...What is the problem?

NOTE: My swap memory is 6G now and my RAM memory is 4G...

  • Yes, it's possible to increase your swap partition. RAM size or SWAP size may be the problem. If you want to increase your swap partition's size then post the screenshot of gparted. Apr 23, 2014 at 4:15
  • Could you possibly tell me how it is possible? Thanks

Maybe is easier to simple add swap with swap file

Create swapfile. Count is size of swap file

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=5048576

format file

mkswap /swapfile

Turn on swap

swapon /swapfile

Edit fstab to add swap

/swapfile       none    swap    sw      0       0
