Ubuntu :: 10.04 64bit Showing Only 2.7 GiB Out Of 4GiB?
Nov 5, 2010
I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on my PC with 4GB of ram and the sysmon is showing only 2.7 Don't know why it's doing that, but don't like this. So far I red that I must enable PAE but since PAE is integrated into the kernel in this version, don't know how to proceed further.
Here is what I've installed:
uname -a
Linux xxxxxxxx 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 05:14:15 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'll be using this machine mainly for VMWare virtual machines and I was surprised how fast is it. Can't figure out why it's addressing only 2.7....
I might need to switch to i686 ArchLinux as flashplugin has been removed from the 64 bit version. Also, i could then install virtualbox-ose. Since 32bit os has 4G limitation, is a swap partition even needed/used on a system with more than 4G hardware ram?
I would like to know when usb inserted, its showing cant mount when i clicked details its showing bad blocks in beginning , and smething in /dev/sd6. Can i knw why usb drive cant be mounted automatically , even if its set to do so, and to cope the error mentioned above
Having one issue with evolution not showing html websites showing up in email like verizon sending a promo. I have gone to edit, preferences, mail preferences, html messages and have always load images from the internet chosen. I have also added sender to contacts. Even if I right click message and tell it to dload images it doesn't.
When I try to connect a projector to my laptop (already running) and hit the fn+f7 (the designated button for switching screen), nothing happens. I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the output of xrandr when the laptop is connected:
Downloaded from here: [URL] then ,it is 32-bit and I need to know what all 32-bit libs are needed as dependency for skype to work. I am on Gnome Fedora and purposefully selected static version of skype to prevent installation of libqt4.
I just bought sony vaio laptop(EB16) couple of days before.I had window 7 OS.

Can anyone get the website below to work correctly with Firefox 3.5 and F11 64bit?[URL]...All I see is the background scrolling slowly and jerkily, none of the buttons at the bottom work. Reboot into Windows 7 and IE8: the same site is fast, smooth, the buttons work and the product details appear correctly in the centre of the screen.
I've tried disabling all adblock /pop up block options, ensured all javascript options are enabled and no change. Could this be a problem with the 64 bit flash player (installed from leigh's sticky thread) or a problem with OpenJDK?
Edit: now working, thanks very much Leigh and Dangermouse.
Anyone successfully installed AIR and iPlayer on F11?
I've switched to 32 bit Adobe flash, tried Autoten for AIR and Dangermouse's advice for iPlayer: url.html but it's not working, and trying to install AIR from url results in an endless busy downloading graphic .
I assume my problem is a lack of required packages, though I searched the repositories using YUM extender for the packages listed here: url.html and can't see them either as installed or available.
i have a asus K8N-DL MB with 2xAMD64 opteron270 and 4G ram3x1TB drives in raid 5 using onboard SIL controllerand 2 SATA drives also on SIL but not raidedhad previously had F10 64 bit loaded whick workedtried to upgrade and failed (destroyed data)tried a fresh install low level formatted the 3x1TB and made them into raidleft other drives as is takes a long time to boot into the point of trying to find HDthen nothing found
As i just started to write scripts, i'd obviously like automize some actions, therefor i'd like to check the users system if its 64bit. Is there a function to check this?
were's a good start to get into bash scripting, the files i use as template gave pretty much good info, but yet i have no idea what i'm actualy doing
Iam trying to install F15 64bit but I failed my hardware as folow

Today I got update notification. I type in terminal yum update, and get this error: Quote: Error: Missing Dependency: libnetfilter_conntrack.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package iptstate-2.2.1-5.fc11.x86_64 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I removed iptstate.x86_64, again run yum update, and than, ibnetfilter_conntrack got installed. I tried to install iptstate.x86_64 again, but i get Quote:
I have Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 / 2 GHz processor. i just upgraded my system with 4 memory sticks i.e. 7GB of RAM due to my requirements. Now the issue that i am facing is that my 32bit fedora system does not showing and suppoting more than 3.XX gigs of RAM when i consult "/proc/meminfo", "free -m" and "top". Now i have done two thing, first i have installed a PAE version of kernel. In result of this my system become two slow with the following error at startup. Error: starting udev: wait timeout. will continue in the background <Failed> Secondly, i installed a 64bit version of Fedora 10 but still it showing not more than 3GB of memory. Also a kernel bug system alerts me of not supporting more than 3gigs of RAM and ask me to send that bug to[URL]
I've found so far where people upgrading from a 32bit to 64bit version of Ubuntu. I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 but only 3.4gb is showing up in the system monitor. Any ideas on how to fix this?
This doesn't seem to me to be particularly a ubuntu or windows problem, though i made the problem through windows. so I'll post it here and on a Windows forum and if it turns out to be specific to windows then you guys can get mad at me and delete it.
My computer had too many failed OSs and partitions on it and blank space I couldn't access, it was a mess. and I got a free windows 7 upgrade CD from Dell, so I decided to nuke it and start fresh.
I put the CD in, there was the simple upgrade button, didn't want that, went to the other option because i wanted to erase everything and start again. The next screen was a list of partitions. I deleted all partitions except the BIOS in the end. And popped windows 7 on, but it was only reading 300 GB. Windows just says: Local disk: 297, no mention of other partitions under "Disk Management", when there was blank space or linux partitions in the past it read them.
I was hoping all this would be solved when I tried to install Lucid, but it's only reading the 297GB as well. Because of this I assume Gparted will have the same problem
If I did something wrong there's no problem with starting everything over again, all i've installed is firefox on 7 and I'm running the Lucid live disk, but what should I do?
I have a small issue which seems to be really wierd with Ubuntu, I have 4 disks 2x120gb 1x250gb and 1x500gb, during install I can only see the 500gb HD and none of the other, I get an LVM drive during install for 250gb but that's no good (see attachment)
Now if i run the install with "nodmraid" the raid goes away but it only sees the 500gb I can however see the other drives in GPartion if i let the installer go onto live Linux, if i then run the install from live the HD still doesn't show, I tried almost everything I change the sata connections to a different place, I've unplugged a few HD to see if there was conflicts and still nothing.
What's even more wierd however is that this only happens in Ubuntu, any other distro I just pick nodmraid and all the drives show.
Also should say my motherboard is a MSI P43 NEO-F, the 2 120gb HD are Western digital the other 2 are maxtor.
Have a nice Karmic x86-64 install. Code: $ uname -a Linux onyx 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Have 4 GB of RAM installed.
I was trying to change something on my Ubuntu netbook desktop. I used this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Using and I tried this command in terminal
When i log in to ubuntu, noting is showing. No taskbar, no Menu bar, no wallpaper, only a screen and my cursor. What is the problem? How can i solve it?I use ubuntu 8.10, my RAM is 512+256, Intel P4 processor, no graphics card.4 times rebooting did not help.My final exam is closing in and i have so many important documents in home folder. So it would be hazardous for me to format it and setting up again.
I've got a laptop on which I want to install Ubuntu. I've downloaded the disc, burnt it (no errors, verified) and it boots up (with the CD in), shows a short BIOS-style copyright notice, then just a black screen with white text flashing across the screen a thousand times faster than I can read it. If I press a key, the background changes purple, then back to black if I press another key.I can't even SEE the installer. It's kind of like what happens if you set an old CRT monitor to a resolution it can't handle - but the laptop is an LCD that does 1280x800 maximum. What's going on?
Why are there no drivers showing up under hardware drivers? i don't have anything installed, and everything is running really glitchy. All things are up to date. (besides drivers)
while i got decent I/O throughput, my soundcard Creative X-Fi ceased to exist. I can't see that its support was stripped out of the kernel. How can i get my music back?
