[Bug 1197926] [NEW] Ubiquity partitioning scheme can prevent suspend to disk

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 (precise-desktop i386) on a Samsung notebook
with 768MB RAM and 120G harddisk.

The default partitioning scheme suggested a 784MB swap partition as hda5
(extended) and the rest as root (ext4). This is far too small to enable
suspend to disk (which needs roughly the amount of RAM _plus_ the amount
of swap in use when suspending as swap space). I later had to resize the
ext4 partition and enlarge the swap partition to be able to use the
system.

I have not found any information about how Ubuntu decides about partitioning (swap space especially). IMHO:
Swap + RAM should be at least 4GB and swap should be >= 1,5*RAM and > RAM+500MB to be able to enable suspend to disk.
For 768MB RAM, this means at least 3,25G swap.
For 2GB RAM, this means at least 3GB swap etc.
