[Bug 769359] Re: Out of memory error when running Live CD prevents installation from completing

[Steve Langasek]

This bug and the duplicates were all reported against 11.04.  Since the original submitter says this is not present for him in 11.10, please file a new bug report for issues in other releases, and include in the bug report:
 - the image you used
 - when you hit the OOM error
 - how much memory the system you're installing on has
 - if possible, dmesg output a process list from the affected system

There will always be some set of systems where you will hit an OOM error
when trying to install using certain methods.  In order for this to be
an actionable bug report we need more precise information.

Title:
  Out of memory error when running Live CD prevents installation from
  completing

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I think this has happened twice in a row as my frist try to install full disk proved to be unbootable and I didn't get the reboot confirmation after the first try (wasn't paying attention).  This time I got the installer crashed, file a bug message.  I'll run apport collecct just after I file this.  The crash was during or right after the step where it erases the swap file for security reasons.
