Fix Geekbench test failed and low memory was detected.
I ran yet-another-bench-script (yabs) script with my new VPS and encountered an error.
Example yabs result:

Geekbench test failed and low memory was detected. Add at least 1GB of SWAP or use GB4 instead (higher compatibility with low memory systems).

root@usbackup:~# curl -sL yabs.sh | bashHow to fix
As we can see on my benchmark result, my ubuntu template didn't come with a swap (0.0 KiB). So to fix this error, add at least 1 GB of swap. Add swap with this method:
First, create a file that will be used as a swap:
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfileSet the file permissions to 600 to prevent regular users to write and read the file:
sudo chmod 600 /swapfileCreate a Linux swap area on the file:
sudo mkswap /swapfileSetting up swapspace version 1, size = 2 GiB (2147479552 bytes)
no label, UUID=fde7d2c8-06ea-400a-9027-fd731d8ab4c8
Activate the swap file by running the following command:
sudo swapon /swapfileVerify that the swap is active by using either the swapon or the freecommand, as shown below:
sudo swapon --showOutput
root@us:~# sudo swapon --show
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/swapfile file 2G 44M -2As we can see, I added a 2GB Swap while my ram is 1GB.
However, if we reboot, the server will not retain the swap settings automatically. To make it permanent, add the swap file to our /etc/fstab file.
Back up the /etc/fstab file in case anything goes wrong:
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
Add the swap file information to the end of your /etc/fstab file by typing:
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0Re-run yabs script
