** Description changed:
+ [Problem]
+ This is a common issue encountered by users trying to install -nvidia on
systems with insufficient space to install the driver. This can happen for
instance if the user is booting from a usb disk.
+
+ It is further noticed that in many cases the system may appear to have
+ enough space, but it still fails on an out of space issue. It is
+ suspected that either more space is used than expected, or the amount of
+ available space is overreported.
+
+ Jockey should check for available space on installation, and should
+ include a sizable margin (like 2.5x space asked). If the user has less
+ than that amount of space, it should give a dialog warning them that
+ they won't have enough space.
+
+ [Original Report]
Booted from usb disk
Got a notice saying that unity was not available because I didn't have
3D.
Went to System->Administration->Hardware drivers, selected to install
nvidia drivers.
Apport detected crash, driver installation failed.
