Hi,
I'm running Kali 2021.1 (recently upgraded from 2020.4 which was my initial install) on an Acer Swift 5 as a dual boot with Windows 10.
I recently noticed that Kali only sees less than 3 Gb of RAM on the 16 Gb I have on the unit. The 16 Gb of RAM appear in UEFI and are recognized and used by Windows. The 16 Gb of RAM are also recognised when I boot on a Ubuntu live distro. Any idea how I can Get Kali to use all the available memory?
Here is the output of free -h:
Here is the output of dmidecode --type memory:
Here is the output of cat /proc/meminfo:
Here is the output of egrep "model name|address" /proc/cpuinfo:
Would very much appreciate some help.
Thanks !
