Public bug reported:
Running the installer for Edubuntu Alpha 2 32bit on a VirtBox VM. VM
has a 12.9GB disk.
Installer correctly decided on a partitioning scheme and when it
attempted to create partitions, returned a failure (and popped an error
dialog up) stating that it failed to create swap space.
There was no indication in the installer as tperhpas one of the attached
logs will shed light on why the swap creation failed. I clicked OK in
the error dialog and proceeded with the instalation.
This brought me right back to the partitoning screen.
Initially, my only option was to erase and install, because the disk was
already partitioned out with two installations. So I chose erase and
install, prompting the failure. After clicking OK on the error dialog
mentioned above, I was brought right back to the installer, this time
providing the options for side by side, upgrade, erase and install and
advanced.
So on this second run through the partitioner, I chose again, erase and
install. This again told me that the entire 12.9 GB disk would be used.
So I clicked Install Now to being the partitioning and installation.
Here's the error from the dialog box, which appeared the second time as
well:
The creation of swap space in partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed
