** Summary changed: - Ubiquity installer should calculate needed disk space more accurate (I can't believe that 8.1 GB is not enough for 32-bit installation) + Unable to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 with Ubiquity on system with 8 GB free space
** Tags added: xenial ** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: - 1. Download latest 16.10 cdimage (for example this - e5bbe3a90fb7aaf98b0371effc008d3b *yakkety-desktop-i386.iso) + 1. Download latest 16.10 cdimage (for example this - e5bbe3a90fb7aaf98b0371effc008d3b *yakkety-desktop-i386.iso) or 16.04 LTS final image (610c4a399df39a78866f9236b8c658da *ubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso). 2. Insert 8 Gb SD card (or USB flash - /dev/sdd) into computer. 3. Try to install 16.10 on SD/USB memory with kvm (sudo kvm -m 1024 -vga std -hda /dev/sdd -cdrom yakkety-desktop-i386.iso -boot d) 4. Select "Install Ubuntu" in boot menu, select language and click "Continue" in the installer. - 5. Get message + 5. Get message "You need at least 8.4 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. - This computer has only 8.1 GB". + This computer has only 8.1 GB.". - so I can't install Ubuntu 16.10. Expected results 1. User can install Ubuntu on 8 GB free space. Actual results: 1. User can't install Ubuntu on 8 GB free space. Note: I'll test previous versions of Ubuntu. I can't remember any problems installing them on small disk drives. + I checked this: + * Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS i386 may be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "has at least 4.6 GB available drive space"). + * Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS i386 may be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "has at least 6.5 GB available drive space"). + * Ubuntu 16.04 LTS i386 may not be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "You need at least 8.4 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. + This computer has only 8.1 GB"). So I can't install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. + + I do not think that 8 GB is not enough for installation of modern Ubuntu. Ubiquity should calculate needed space more accurately. + My friends and I like to install modern Ubuntu versions for testing on our old flash drives. And very often these flash drives are not bigger than 8 GB. We have no swap partition here. + Using alternate/net install CD is not a good option. + So I think that Ubuntu should fit to 8 GB free space. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: ubiquity 16.10.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-30.49-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-30-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.2-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.376 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Jul 10 12:21:26 2016 InstallCmdLine: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash --- LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Alpha i386 (20160710) ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm-256color - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm-256color + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1600594 Title: Unable to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 with Ubiquity on system with 8 GB free space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1600594/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
