[Bug 1448530] Re: zram not working on vivid

[GamePad64]

I see. Script uses `free` command and then greps the output. And `free`
command uses l10n, so grep is unsuccessful. I have Russian localization,
so I faced this bug too.

** Patch added: "Added LANG=C before "free" command. Works like a charm."

  The zram-config package install works without errors, but at swapon
  -s, no zram devices are listed.

  $ dmesg | grep zram
