normally conky tells me that i'm using 0% swap. just now i noticed it showing, "no swap%," which looked strange. issuing "swapon -a" as root changed the display back to "0%." now i'm wondering if i missed something, systemd changes perhaps, that swap doesn't get switched on unless it's needed, or if something went wrong on my machine. didn't notice any unmerged .pacnew files, but will check again... -- phani.
