[Bug 604765] Re: [Maverick] 32bit Ubuntu installer not calculating swap correctly for PAE systems
Testing on a machine with 4G ram and 250Gig HDD. The installer gave the machine 12G swap...so hibernate can't fail due to lack swap space with this ** Changed in: oem-priority Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- [Maverick] 32bit Ubuntu installer not calculating swap correctly for PAE systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is probably fairly straightforward to glue into partman-auto; it can use /usr/lib/base-installer/dmi-available-memory if it's available (though if and when we get round to merging this upstream, that's not really a great place for it). After this, no change to ubiquity beyond a routine update to the new partman-auto should be needed. ** Package changed: base-installer (Ubuntu Maverick) = partman-auto (Ubuntu Maverick) ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Maverick) Assignee: Evan Dandrea (ev) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: partman-auto (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: partman-auto (Ubuntu Maverick) Assignee: (unassigned) = Colin Watson (cjwatson) ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Maverick) Importance: High = Undecided ** Changed in: partman-auto (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: New = In Progress -- [Maverick] 32bit Ubuntu installer not calculating swap correctly for PAE systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK. I'm not actually able to test this directly myself in any very reliable way. However, I've gone ahead and uploaded a change to partman-auto which should cover this. This will be included in ubiquity 2.3.8 when it's uploaded, which should be early next week, and at that point I'd greatly appreciate confirmation that I got this right. -- [Maverick] 32bit Ubuntu installer not calculating swap correctly for PAE systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 604765] Re: [Maverick] 32bit Ubuntu installer not calculating swap correctly for PAE systems
Let me make sure I understand the problem. Let's say a machine has 8GB of RAM. At install time, the boot kernel only sees 3GB of RAM, so it creates a 3GB swap partition. Then later, the installer detects that the PAE kernel is needed, so it installs it. After reboot, the user is able to address all 8GB of RAM, but now they have a swap partition that is not big enough to hold the contents of memory, therefore hibernate (suspending to disk) is likely to fail. Do I have that right? -- [Maverick] 32bit Ubuntu installer not calculating swap correctly for PAE systems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
