[Solved] not seeing all my Memory on 14.x x86

Hi

I did not even check until now what TC32 was seeing or giving me. I have made my dmesg a clickable text file link
https://www.mediafire.com/file/44qv22n8egdxp0a/32dmesg.txt
I would normally try a dropbox link but its not working for me at the moment...impatience is a virtue

the key thing is on TC64

--- Code: ---free -g
--- End code ---
says I have a total of 6G and 5G available

here is the TC32 output

--- Code: ---free -g
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:              1           1           0           0           0           0
Swap:             8           0           8
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---

htop shows one memory hog is firefox which spawns multiple instances. Thats not normally problem if my sytem thought I had total of 6G

I only discovered today after building some GUI packages....and getting a memory allocation error.

thanks for reading.

PS I am aware that 32 bit may have a 3G limit but where is all my precious RAM?  :-[

Hi aus9!

Haven't You tried Core64 configuration? It is 64-bit kernel supporting 32-bit userland. Some time ago when I was trying 32-bit TC on 64-bit machines I came to conclusion that this is much better way to run 32-bit apps on 64-bit machines.

Hi aus9
The  -g  option does not appear to be very accurate. Use  -m  instead.

This is from a machine with 4 Gbytes of RAM:

--- Code: ---tc@E310:~$ free -g
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:             2          1          1          0          0          0
-/+ buffers/cache:          1          1
Swap:            0          0          0
tc@E310:~$
tc@E310:~$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3028       1697       1331          0          4        414
-/+ buffers/cache:       1278       1750
Swap:          999         24        975
tc@E310:~$
--- End code ---

Hi Rich
This is my result with a machine with 8G of RAM....confirmed on TC64 which is running on a different partition. So its not the bios nor loose sticks

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            942         164         651          35         127         626
Swap:          8000           0        8000
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---

I do not care if I only see 3 but 1 is not enough for me

Hi jazzbiker

No I had not.  Does that affect any TCE submission?

Rich:
Hi aus9
Run:

--- Code: ---dmesg > dmesg.txt
--- End code ---
and attach the file to your next post.
