[PROBLEM] Memory

[Richdotward]

Hi

Just playing around with php and lighttpd on my pi.

Only a temp website on my system at the moment and just testing numerous php apps.

One I'm using sysinfo shows some nice stats of the pi.

richdotward.mooo.com/sysinfo/

Why is my 512 model b only showing 382 Meg total.

Error in the app or something on my pi not setup right?

Thanks for any ideas.

The Raspberry Pi memory is dived over the CPU and GPU. By default XBian allocates 128 mb to the GPU and the rest (384mb) to the CPU.

Thanks thought it would be something like that.

As I'm using it headless via SSH I guess I could take back a large chunk of that memory? Any idea how to?

Thanks

Do you still want to be able to run XBMC? if so no, if yes edit the /boot/config.txt and change the gpu_mem_512 to 16

Never used xbmc, came to xbian due to the sabnzbd downloader pack and just stuck to it ever since.

Tried 16 and the pi would not start up again. 32 and all ok.

Thanks for the tip, 480 meg now showing for xbian to use.
