Re: why 1G memory is missing?

Re: why 1G memory is missing?
Jeremy Hendricks:Are you booting an x86 or x86_64 install? Run: “uname -a” without quotes and post the results to us. Linux debian 4.9.0-13-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.228-1 (2020-07-05) i686 GNU/Linux Thanks, i thought pae can bypass 4G limit of 32-bit OS
why 1G memory is missing?
i have 2 memory slotsmemtest86+ shows each has 2G, but total is 3Gafter booting linux, top shows total is 3Gwhy 1 G is missing? Thanks!
Re: where can i find a list of wireless adapter that debian support
Thanks, as most adapters require firmware, it's not handy for user to supply them during installation can't debian do a better job? i care more about ease of use than freeware philosophymany other distro just supply them these non-free firmware are same as software without source code??
Re: where can i find a list of wireless adapter that debian support
Thank Gene, i'd better give up search for ideal wireless adapter my old pci wireless adapter needn't non-free firmware, but new adapter need, as Andrew has said
Re: where can i find a list of wireless adapter that debian support
Thank Georgi! the tricky part of my search for ideal adapter(needn't non-free firmware) isthat many vendors claim they support linux, but i'm afraid they require non-free firmware is there some easy way to find out if it requires non-free firmware?

Windows is better supported because many vendors claim they support Windows from winxp to win10they don't mention linux Ubuntu is more friendly than debian in this case, it just install them(including non-free firmware), hiding ugly details from user
Re: where can i find a list of wireless adapter that debian support
Thank Andrew, Stefan and nick! i prefer old wifi adapter if new one often requires non-free firmware it seems that Windows is better supported than linux in this aspect finding my ideal adapter with right interface isn't easy (usb is preferred, some pci card can't be install in my PC) finding them at reasonable price on Chinese market isn't easy i may have to give up, i have to put up with non-free firmware
Re: where can i find a list of wireless adapter that debian support
Thanks, mick! i've found some adapter with search enginehopefully it can be installed in debian without firmware from non-free
where can i find a list of wireless adapter that debian support
i hate to install firmware from non-free sectionin some instances free adapter perform better than non-free one i browse some e-shop, some vendor claim that you needn't driver for their adapter installationi guess driver is included somewhere in adapter, vendor say they can be installed in Windowsafter all chinese desktop market is dominated by Windowsit's very difficult to install them in linuxsome web site offer instruction on how to install them in linux
Re: why pdf file at archive.org is so slow to open
David, you are right again, i'm going nowhere(making no progress) actually i've said on Mon, 05 Jul 2021 05:04:54 +0800that slowness has nothing to do with downloadi open it as local file i believe pdf format used by archive.org is cause of slownessthey are scanned books, and allow you to select text, it's advanced (and complicated) my viewer performs better when viewing pdf files from other source and my cpu is slower than that used by mainstream users
Re: why pdf file at archive.org is so slow to open
David, you are right, it has Continuous modebut it's slow, and it lacks gui, making it difficult to usei don't think gui components requires fast cpu

Best regards! i've just installed zathura, it doesn't have Continuous mode as opposed to Single Page modeand it lacks gui components, you have to read manual to use iti'm not satisfied with it, Thanks anyway!
Re: why pdf file at archive.org is so slow to open
Thanks! i've installed atril, evince and okular for buster for i386 at your recommendationevince for buster seems better than for stretch i use xosview to monitor performance4G memory is always enough, but cpu usage is high, meaning slow

Thanks!it has nothing to do with downloadi have saved it to home directoryand then open it with acrobat for linuxit's slow when i browse it what cpu do you use?my cpu is old and cheap
why pdf file at archive.org is so slow to open
i've found many books at archive.org in pdf formatbut reading them in acrobat for linux is painful, it's slow it's fast in acrobat for androidand i think it's fast in Windowsadobe has stopped upgrade for linux i've tried evince, gnome default viewer, it crash https://archive.org/details/historyofmoderneschefile name: historyofmodernesche.pdf above is an example, other pdf files at archive.org have same problem, slow!please test with example above before recommending pdf viewer
