From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; H010818; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: For systems with >4GB of memory, kcontrol (KDE graphical memory display) only shows 3.5GB of total memory. Likewise, other memory amounts are also wrong. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1.3-5.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install KDE on system with >4GB RAM 2. run kcontrol 3. click on memory tab and note memory info is wrong Actual Results: 3.5 GB total memory Expected Results: 16GB memory Additional info: Interestingly, it appears the maintainer of this project did try to account for large memory systems. In kcontrol/info/memory.h, it states: #ifdef HAVE_LONG_LONG typedef unsigned long long t_memsize; #else typedef unsigned long t_memsize; #endif Either HAVE_LONG_LONG is not defined or perhaps later something else is not properly reading the memory from the syscall in kcontrol/info/memory_linux.cpp.
