Your system is seriously under configured.
You only have 1 Gb device swap. You don't have pseudoswap on at all. And 768 Mb memory.

Even though you have 782 free now, you could run out of that very quickly.

So add so more device swap

[Aman Bharadwaj]

Juan-Pablo Zh,

You can enable pseudo-swap by setting kernel tunable parameter swapmem_on to 1.

#kmtune swapmem_on=1

Also, as you dont have free space to add another device swap here so you can plan to add another disk into vg and add swap space to exisiting configuration.

How to Add another device swap space:
# lvcreate -C y -r n -L 4096 -n lvolswap /dev/vg00

# swapon -p 0 /dev/vg00/lvolswap

# echo "/dev/vg00/lvolswap ... swap pri=0 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

you can give any name to lv u like !!
