Hi! Not sure how best to report this, as I have no idea what Debian package (if any?) handles the installer.
In trying to test an Xfce patch, I spun up a virtual machine (using VirtualBox under my main Debian Stretch installation, though I doubt that makes any difference). The virtual hard disk I assigned it is 8GB total in size, and I gave it 4GB of RAM. Two problems: 1) The default settings gave 4GB to the root partition and 4GB to the swapper. Probably a poor choice, but not overly serious except for... 2) ... the installer running out of disk space is not, apparently, an error. I had no idea whatsoever that there had been any installation difficulties. The first sign of failure was that, after installation, the GUI didn't load properly - just a black screen with a mouse cursor. In trying to track down the failure, I found the disk to be full, so I didn't bother analyzing it any further. Unfortunately, I'm still having trouble after reallocating it (6GB root, rest to swap) - so it's some other problem. How should I go about tracking it down? Chris Angelico
