MMM-Tools problem

Raf

why does MMM-Tools indicate 1Gb instead of 2Gb for the ram memory
the program has already been updated and used to be 2 Gb but I reinstalled everything
fresh installation

bugsounet

don’t know, i will see… I have a lot of issue with MM v2.16

Raf

@bugsounet
me too i can’t update

bugsounet

2 solutions:

git reset
delete needed named files (it will recreate file when updating)

Raf

I deleted the 2 files and after that no more problem

Raf

@raf
after several attempts to reinstall it still gives 1Giga instead of 2Giga Ram even though my pi has 2 Giga
does anyone know a solution for this

bugsounet

are you really sure, it’s a pi4 with 2Go ram ?
1Go ram can be sell too

try this command : (result with a pi3b+)

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:         946008 kB

from my pi 4 (2Go):

pi@Raspberry:~ $ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        1911320 kB

From my second dev platform (debian 11)

bugsounet@debian:~$ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        8057252 kB

it used to indicate 2 Giga but since a new installation of the mirror it only gives 1 Giga

bugsounet

missing ~ >512 Mb on your system maybe ram is dead

Raf

I do not get it either
it has come with a new installation

Raf

problem solved
I had the video memory of the pi set to 512mb and now set it to 76mb and the problem is solved
now the pi returns 2Giga Ram

bugsounet

I have never think to this !

perfect so

@bugsounet
i made a new sd card with raspian buster and set my video memory to 76mb and then got the message that the memory was OK
after that i remembered that when i installed MM i had set the video memory to 512mb and then i knew what was wrong
