Title:
  ext3 partition not large enough on dual boot machine

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On installing Ubuntu 9.04, I let the partitioner sort out the
  partitions on the drive. it created an ext3 partition of 2.5Gb. once
  Ubuntu was up and running the update manager started but it couldn't
  download any updates due to the "disk full". I have installed Ubuntu
  on a compaq presario, with windows XP home edition already installed,
  with a 300Gb HDD with there being approx 220 - 230Gb free on the HDD.
  i fixed the problem by reinstalling and when got to the partitioning
  stage i manually configured the partitions and created a 12Gb ext3
  partition for ubuntu. (thank you to the user on IRC.freenode.net chat
  who helped me with this problem, sorry i can't remember name tho)
