Public bug reported: My computer is a Acer Aspire 5735
The initial RAM was 2.9GO: 1 stick of 2GO and 1 of 1GO. I substitute the 1GO stick by a 2GO. The problem is that it isn't taken in count in the system monitor, and ubuntu doesn't handel the 4GO (it uses swap when needs more than 2.9GO). System monitor should show 4GO, but still shows only 2.9GO. And free -h, returns: total utilisé libre partagé tamp/cache disponible Mem: [b]2,9G[/b] 923M 1,0G 187M 964M 1,6G Partition d'échange: 5,2G 0B 5,2G lshw -c returns : sudo lshw -c memory *-memory description: Mémoire Système identifiant matériel: 15 emplacement: Carte mère [b]taille: 4GiB[/b] *-bank:0 description: SODIMM DDR2 Synchrone 667 MHz (1,5 ns) produit: SODIMM000 fabriquant: Mfg 0 identifiant matériel: 0 numéro de série: 1234-B0 emplacement: M1 [b] taille: 2GiB[/b] bits: 64 bits horloge: 667MHz (1.5ns) *-bank:1 description: SODIMM DDR2 Synchrone 667 MHz (1,5 ns) produit: SODIMM001 fabriquant: Mfg 1 identifiant matériel: 1 numéro de série: 1234-B1 emplacement: M2 [b] taille: 2GiB[/b] bits: 64 bits horloge: 667MHz (1.5ns) In the bios, the 4GO appears. sudo dmidecode | grep -i "maximum" returns: [sudo] Mot de passe de principal : Maximum Size: 64 kB Maximum Size: 4096 kB Maximum Capacity: 4 GB Maximum Error: 100% Maximum Value: Unknown Maximum Value: Unknown Maximum Value: Unknown The problem is the same from a live version.
