Hello,
I installed LL 4.0 2 days ago without any problem, I selected to install LL on the whole volume and everything was going fast.
Today, as I verified my hard disk, I saw that no SWAP partition was existing !!!
In fact, as I have 4 GB of RAM, my LL doesn(t need to swap.....but what will happen if it needs ??
Or, may be I did someting wrong during installation ?
Let me know !
Linux Lite 4.0 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which has a Swap File not a Swap Partition.
Just had a look at HTOP while running LL4.0 with 4G of system ram.
It has a 2G Swap file.
Thanks Jocklad, I didn't know that.
I'm still on LL 3.8, dual booted with Vista. I created a Swap partition before installing LL. Will it still be usable after I (eventually) upgrade to LL 4 ?

You won't need one anymore.

Hi,
You can create a swap partition following these instructions:

But, as Jerry said, you don't necessarily need it.
