Yup, I seem to recall twobob/geekmaster running into that holy message.
Plus up the size, that 1M probably would not even hold the swap metadata.
You have gigabytes of space, try something useful, like: count=64

- - - -

In older (2.6.x) kernels, there was a possibility of a deadlock or race condition in the:
swap -> loop-device -> file -> file system -> device
pathway (one or more of those layers can end up generating another swap request {when VFS needs more buffers, IIRC}).

Plus, as NiLuJe points out, there is a funky fuse proxy already in the /mnt/us path.
Try to get under the proxy using base-us instead.

First, let me answer some of my own qemu-static-arm questions.

F-17/F-22 mix thingy - -
qemu-static-arm is a, well, staticly link program - other than bitness and kernel calls - it will run anywhere -

Since Fedora seems to discourage staticly linked programs, just grap Debian's newest with wget and 'alien' the *.deb into files - you only need the qemu-static binary dropped somewhere in your usual path (/usr/local/bin ? /usr/bin ?).

binfmt_misc will probably be distro specific (but before the days of helper scripts, could be set-up by hand).

Here is the Debian write-up - Don't be surprised if you can't find a Fedora write-up, and just translate to your distro.
https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation
or
goggle for the Arch write-up (Arch has great docs).

How to add swap on DX

Right. Thanks. So, this way it works:

Code:
[root@kindle base-us]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/base-us/swapfile bs=1M count=64
64+0 records in
64+0 records out

[root@kindle base-us]# /mnt/us/busybox mkswap /mnt/base-us/swapfile      
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 67104768 bytes
UUID=13f995a8-ad20-4457-af12-628d213a82bb

[root@kindle base-us]# /mnt/us/busybox swapon /mnt/base-us/swapfile 

[root@kindle base-us]# /mnt/us/busybox swapoff /mnt/base-us/swapfile 

[root@kindle root]# dmesg | tail
...
Adding 65528k swap on /mnt/base-us/swapfile.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:65528k

[root@kindle root]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           124        121          2          0         11         24
-/+ buffers/cache:         85         38
Swap:           63          0         63
I'll update the guide accordingly. EDIT: Done.

This would be at the expense of wearing your internal SD if used a lot... But I guess for dev purposes and given DXG has low RAM, it's good. Would you enable swap for daily use though?!

If so, would be good to make it auto-load in init.

The wear is not enough that you would notice.
You could, if daily use does not need it, it will not be used.

Linux is quite smart about using (and not using) swap space. In general practice, it runs as "mostly read".

My guess was for Kindle DX(G), Debian Woody would do because Potato is at most kernel 2.2.19 whereas ours is 2.2.26. Wouldn't Woody do the woodwork better here?

The reason I had swap on was to open up larger and complicated PDFs with native reader without crashing. Well, it didn't help, at least in case of this PDF. It just restarts the framework as soon as first page is opened.

Here's the error:

It shows how awesome KPV (and muPDF) are.

It may be those large, color, graphics that the native reader chokes on.

Adobe Reader sucks up 147Mbytes of memory with that document open, so anything that can display it within the limits of a DX is doing pretty good.

I love muPDF and KindlePDFViewer... hey hawhill and others, we are talking about you man.

I just wish both KPV and KOReader could have been merged in an intelligible way. Now, there are features in KOReader that KPV lacks and it makes me want to help extend/port them back to KPV.

It was incorrect file attached up there. With previous file attached, 2.5.8 had no issues as well. I updated the link to a more complex pdf that 2.5.8's native pdf reader chokes on, but KPV is fine!

Hmm...
The cover page is in portrait, the rest in landscape.
That might be the reader's problem.
Of course, there isn't any shortage of large color graphics in there either.

Perhaps if someone could report if the DX can display that pdf after the update to 3.4.2 ....

It works just fine with 3.4.2 on DXi (but it's too big for me to read that text comfortably).

Here goes another reason for me to update.

Oh, you meant, too small to read comfortably?

@knc1, that might be it.

Ok here is another test for me. newman, can you please tell me when you put this attached article in your documents folder, do you see both the name (on home page) and content of this article as ???????? or Perso-Arabic text shows beautifully?

Sound fuzziness and issues are still there on v3.*?
