I wonder if it is an opinion that the number of companies using Ubuntu on laptops might be reduced starting with 18.04 considering the amount of extra effort to write a completely custom partman recipe with a larger swap (or assuming the answer above works in the preseed to actually get the old behavior of 100% or so) in order to use hibernation to conserve battery life, since suspend still tends to run a battery down fairly quickly, and those that don't have access to power now have to shut down their machines completely losing their working state rather than being able to quickly hibernate and resume.
It makes me sad that rather than reuse a preseed that has worked across multiple previous releases of Ubuntu without alteration I now have to come up with a partman recipe to handle whether I need an EFI partition or not as well as how large to make each individual partition including the swap. I feel like introducing a new recipe or at least making it opt-in for the change rather than automatically breaking existing preseeds for everyone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767299 Title: Ubuntu 18.04 Installer creates swap partition too small To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/1767299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
