Comment 25 for bug 516834

Listen. For me to give you the information, because I have already tweaked my system to work round the problem, I would have to open the config file concerned (and right now I can't even remember which one it is), edit it, reboot (meaning closing down all the other stuff I am working on), test the swappiness, re-edit the config file, and reboot again, whereas all you would have to do would be to enter one command at the command line, and you can do it as a normal user so you don't even need to go to the trouble of entering your password. That would give you all the information you need to present to the kernel engineers. What is your problem? Are you actually interested in making Ubuntu work properly? Am I the only one who thinks this bureaucratic buck-passing culture is insane? It's starting to look like you think us ordinary users who make the effort to file bug reports are just troublemakers who deliberately set out to waste your time and derail the project. Please get a grip.
