[Steve Langasek]

Hello christophe, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.525.48 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users could not use vagrant boxes as a full computer (or anything requiring more than 10G of memory). This was a regression from our behavior in 14.04

  [Test Case]

  vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64 (replace with ubuntu/eoan64 or ubuntu/xenial64 as needed)
  vagrant up
  vagrant ssh default
  Run `df -H` inside the vagrant box
  Observe Disk size of drive mounted at / (before the fix it will list ~10G, after the fix it will list ~40G)

  [Regression Potential]

  Making the disk size bigger for vagrant boxes does not increase the
  size of the box when running (not until that extra size is used).
  Therefore, the regression potential is low, as users with under 40G of
  disk space are still able to launch the new Vagrant images without
  running out of space.

  The 40G was also present in 14.04, which should improve confidence
  that our users can use 40G Vagrant images. This has also released with
  20.04.

  [Original Description]
  The ubuntu/xenial64 box has only 10GB of disk whereas it was 40GB with the trusty box.

  This makes the box not really usable as a desktop computer.
