Public bug reported: version tested: ubiquity 2.10.20 on 12.04.1 daily build. $md5sum precise-desktop-amd64.iso 64cae667e6fde29ea86043ede5e79493 precise-desktop-amd64.iso
Reproducing: setup a new KVM machine with 768 MB of ram. (because users were reporting crashes with 768) *after booting, select try Ubuntu * start the installer, but not anything else. * select "something else" since the disk has no parition table, click to create a "new partition table create an 888 megabyte swap at the end of the disk create a 7701 M swap at the beginning of the disk. Ubiquity crashes when clicking to the next screen. you'll notice that the syslog has a: OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory. To fix this bug, ubiquity should not be installing on PC's with too little RAM, especially when crashes are so consistent. Ubiquity should CLEARLY warn about crashes on low-ram machines. here's the syslog and other stuff: x@ubu:~$ pastebinit debug http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158548/ x@ubu:~$ pastebinit partman http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158549/ x@ubu:~$ pastebinit syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158550/ x@ubu:~$ pastebinit version http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158551/ x@ubu:~$ cat version ubiquity 2.10.20 ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039405 Title: Lockups when running vm's with 768MB of memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1039405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
