Hi. I have an ASUS Chromebox running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, standalone.
I upgraded the RAM from 2 to 8GB. Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3/DDR3L 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) SODIMM 1.35V/1.5V 204-Pin Memory for Mac - CT2K4G3S160BM
Upon initial boot, ie, pushing the on button, free -m shows only 2GB.
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 1988 833 640 158 513 816
Swap: 2036 888 1148
However, sudo lshw -class memory
shows all 8GB.
