Swapeness control is in

/etc/sysctl.conf

Change or adding the line

#Set swappiness value
vm.swappiness=10

The number is the percentage point of how much free RAM there is.
When free RAM reaches this point, swap is used.

Set with the value to your preference.

I didn't have /etc/sysct.conf as a file in either Tahrpup, or Bionicpup64, so I added it to enter those lines.

It is not /etc/sysct.conf

It is /etc/sysctl.conf

Did you actually have a swap partition or swap file made?
Computer booted with the swap loaded?
