Title:
  Ubiquity partitioning scheme can prevent suspend to disk

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
