Been googling and searching the fora for an hour now, and I can't seem to figure this one out. I've read all about PAE, but that only helps people running the 32-bit version. The output of uname -a is:
Linux peppr-desktop-ubuntu 3.2.0-53-generic #81-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 22 21:01:03 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So I know I'm running the 64-bit version and PAE shouldn't help. Additionally, free -m gives:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2757 2080 677 0 202 779
-/+ buffers/cache: 1098 1659
Swap: 15999 0 15999
I've verified, both in the BIOS and with dmidecode, that there is definitely 6GB recognized by the motherboard. This is a dual-boot machine and Windows 7 (also 64-bit) sees all 6GB. I am using a PCI Express video card with onboard memory, so that shouldn't be the problem either. So there should be no reason why Ubuntu can't use the other ~3.5GB.
I'm hoping that someone in here has some thoughts about what might be wrong. Takers?
