[Bug 1477217] Re: Crash while trying to install Kubuntu in VirtualBox vm.

[Johannes Aquila]

I may have found the solution. The default disk size for Ubuntu VMs in
VirtualBox is 8 GB, which seems to be on the low side. Apparently the
Kubuntu installer can't deal with that restriction. (Making half of it
an unnecessary swap partition on the first round is clearly a symptom of
this problem!) I have now been successful with a 30 GB disk, while
everything else was the same.

To the extent that there is a bug, it appears to be that the Kubuntu
installer may fail in a non-constructive way on an 8 GB disk.
