** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: 1. Download latest 16.10 cdimage (for example this - e5bbe3a90fb7aaf98b0371effc008d3b *yakkety-desktop-i386.iso) or 16.04 LTS final image (610c4a399df39a78866f9236b8c658da *ubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso). 2. Insert 8 Gb SD card (or USB flash - /dev/sdd) into computer. 3. Try to install 16.10 on SD/USB memory with kvm (sudo kvm -m 1024 -vga std -hda /dev/sdd -cdrom yakkety-desktop-i386.iso -boot d) 4. Select "Install Ubuntu" in boot menu, select language and click "Continue" in the installer. 5. Get message "You need at least 8.4 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. This computer has only 8.1 GB.". - so I can't install Ubuntu 16.10. Expected results 1. User can install Ubuntu on 8 GB free space. Actual results: 1. User can't install Ubuntu on 8 GB free space. Note: I'll test previous versions of Ubuntu. I can't remember any problems installing them on small disk drives. - I checked this: - * Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS i386 may be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "has at least 4.6 GB available drive space"). - * Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS i386 may be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "has at least 6.5 GB available drive space"). - * Ubuntu 16.04 LTS i386 may not be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "You need at least 8.4 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. + I checked this: + * Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS i386 may be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "has at least 4.6 GB available drive space"). + * Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS i386 may be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "has at least 6.5 GB available drive space"). + * Ubuntu 16.04 LTS i386 may not be installed on my 8 GB flash (it reports that this computer: "You need at least 8.4 GB disk space to install Ubuntu. This computer has only 8.1 GB"). So I can't install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. - I do not think that 8 GB is not enough for installation of modern Ubuntu. Ubiquity should calculate needed space more accurately. + I do not think that 8 GB is not enough for installation of modern Ubuntu. Ubiquity should calculate needed space more accurately. My friends and I like to install modern Ubuntu versions for testing on our old flash drives. And very often these flash drives are not bigger than 8 GB. We have no swap partition here. Using alternate/net install CD is not a good option. So I think that Ubuntu should fit to 8 GB free space. - ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: ubiquity 16.10.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-30.49-generic 4.4.13 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-30-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.2-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.376 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Jul 10 12:21:26 2016 InstallCmdLine: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash --- LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Alpha i386 (20160710) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
