Title:
Installer Crashes With Large Memory And Small Disk
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on an Oracle VirtualBox VM
with 6.5GB of RAM and 8GB (default for a new Virtual HDD on
VirtualBox) of disk space.
I selected the option "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" (and post crash
"Erase Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and reinstall") and let it use the defaults.
The installer gives the error:
"Some of the partitions you created are too small. Please make the
following partitions at least this large:
/ 3.4 GB
If you do not go back to the partitioner and increase the size of
these partitions, the installation may fail."
The message is very confusing to a new user who did not specify any
partition sizes themselves.
The installer created a 6GB Swap partition on the 8GB drive. The
installer then could not install to the root partition and failed
midway:
"The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[Errno 28] No space left on device
This is due to there being insufficient disk space for the install to
complete on the target partition. Please run the installer again and
select a larger partition to install into."
..then a box appears stating that the installer has crashed:
"Installer crashed
We're sorry; the installer crashed. After you close this window, we'll
allow you to file a bug report using the integrated bug reporting
tool. This will gather information about your system and your
installation process. The details will be sent to our bug tracker and
a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible."
The box cannot be closed. No bug reporting tool launches. The computer
requires restarting to become usable again.
Please let me know if you need any more information as this is my
first bug report.
Thanks for your time,
Matthew
