Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit does not detect 4Gb ram
- by David
I have recently installed 4Gb of ram for an existing 12.04 32bit Ubuntu. It's not being recognised, only 3.2Gb is showing, See:
administrator@Root2:~$ free

System is PAE capable, See:
administrator@Root2:~$ grep --color=always -i PAE /proc/cpuinfo

The system us fully patched and tried to run manual PAE upgrade, See:
administrator@Root2:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

language-pack-zh-hans-base firefox-locale-zh-hans
language-pack-kde-zh-hans-base
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

I am not sure what else to try to recognise the full physical memory installed other than loading 64bit.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
