[Bug 820842] Re: Minimal memory requirement (512MB) too low to install Ubuntu Desktop in a VM

[Steve Langasek]

The original report says that this was with Kubuntu. Are the minimal
memory requirements for a kubuntu install different than for an ubuntu
install?  There were certainly reports at release time of 512MB being
sufficient for an Ubuntu desktop install.  Are the requirements
different on real hardware vs. a VM?  Is this using the 'Install' or
'Try' boot option?  Is it only reproducible with manual partitioning?
Does the manual partitioning selection include allocating swap space?

  When I Install kubuntu with manual partitionning, ubiquity stops and a
  kde sessions is started. this problem happens when I click on "Install
  now" (to apply changes on my hard drives and continue the install
  process). Once the kde session is started everything is black :  xorg,
  tty etc... I cannot switch to tty1 anymore.
