[Bug 1459832] Re: install failed; default 8GB virtual disk insufficient for installation

[ladamo]

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for your response.

I¹m working on a MacMini i7 OS X 10.10 with plenty of resources.
I was attempting to install ubuntu as a virtual machine under Parallels
Desktop 9.
I have limited experience with earlier ubuntu versions operating on other
machines either under Parallels or VirtualBox.  Always as a guest OS.

I took the defaults that were presented, except for memory where I
selected 2GB from a large recommended range. Included 8GB partitioned
disk, as I recall.

First time, a warning appeared, that of 3 listed allocations of disk space
for the installation, the second item was 2.65 as I recall, and 3.5 was
desired.  But I didn¹t know how to change these individual allocations.
So I tried to proceed, regardless.  Didn¹t get anywhere.

Second time I increased the overall size of the partitioned disk for the
VM.  In the Parallels configuration screen it is described as up to 64GB
expandable.

I am just attempting to open the VM now. It reports a system error. The
mouse only exists on the ubuntu desktop. I had to use a command-tab to get
back to this message.

That¹s all I can tell you about it.

There is another issue that showed up that makes ubuntu unusable in any
case.  That is:  The Display defaults to a very low resolution, and I
cannot change it. So low that one cannot ever get to most of the control
buttons in any window.

With u 14.04LTS the default display is 1440 x 900, and that works fine.
But more to the point, one can change the resolution in that version.

Thanks,

Lou
