Comment 31 for bug 516834

I still don't think that the required testing should be done by us, but in the interest of solving this issue I did the following:

- I removed the line in sysctl.conf that set swappiness at 10 (a line that I had put in previously myself);
- reboot
- checked swappiness: it was at 60 again
- I installed the newest available kernel, kernel 2.6.35-020635rc1-generic
- reboot: failed, because of monitor "out of range"
- reboot in Recovery Mode, which also failed because of monitor "out of range"
- reboot with kernel option "nomodeset", which was succesful
- In the terminal: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, which gave 60.

So the problem still exists in the newest kernel. See the attached screenshot of the terminal commands and their results.
