Failed to start Service enabling compressing RAM with zRam #420

As the title says. System: Dell Precision Secure Boot: OFF RAM: 16 GB

This particular computer is the most Linux-friendly machine I have and the first one I have ever bought without Windows pre-installed. Anyone else experiencing this?

Secondary issue of lesser importance I was able to live-boot this release on my ASUS Zephyrus but there was no sound. I remember that this happened to me in the past where sound would play but under Gnome > Settings > Sound, the test feature never worked. Fedora 36 runs perfectly fine and has audio. I know that testing on a variety of hardware is not feasible which is why I posted this. Maybe it will help pin-pining some issues?

Thanks for a new release :)

Hi there, thanks for the report.

Which ISO version did you test?

Does sound not work at all in any application, or just the audio test?

Thanks a lot.

Hello again, (long time no see). I always use the Gnome rolling release.

In the past, sound has worked when, for example, watching YouTube videos. Just Gnome Settings Sound Test never did under Gecko. Pressing the Left/Right buttons did not produce sound. I use USB audio interfaces and the one on this PC is a Steinberg UR22 mkII. Never has any issues with Linux.

After the ISO did not install on my Dell workstation, I did a quick test run on my ASUS laptop. The laptop has 32GB of RAM and booted OK. I then went trough the Settings to turn off Bluetooth and WiFi and eventually discovered that the sound test buttons still did not work (as in the past). openSUSE, on the other hand, does the sound test correctly. I did not load Firefox to test YouTube videos as the Laptop needs to run Fedora because of asusctl.

Maybe I try another Leap release this weekend. I'll report back if I discover something worth while. Have a great weekend! - LC

systemd-zram-service was broken for me. I switched to zram-generator instead. The Tumbleweed package is called zram-generator too.
