[Bug 1503441] [NEW] 8 GB isn't enough to install Ubuntu

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

I was trying to install on an 8GB virtual machine and it crashed on me.
Come to find out this is because I wanted 4GB of RAM which ended up
creating a 4GB swap space and left a 4GB root partition which wasn't
enough.
