<br />
Also, I don't see the Swappolube app anywhere in my menu but the installation process unpacked everything as it should have. Did the first file not have an actual app to run?<br />

Swappolube-nogui makes the same thing of Swappolube; the difference is that Swappolube-nogui installs a set of changes and doesn't give an option to further tweak them; while Swappolube gives you a graphical interface which allows you to experiment with values if you wish to.
So, Swappolube-nogui doesn't need an icon in your app list, it just works from the moment you install it - and stops working when you uninstall it.
Swappolube, instead, has an icon to open the graphical interface.
Hope it helps.
