[Bug 1767299] Re: Ubuntu 18.04 Installer creates swap partition too small

[Phillip Susi]

Change appears to be intentional:

partman-auto (134ubuntu1.2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Introduce partman-auto/cap-ram, to allow capping RAM size as used for
    swap partition calculations. This allows us to effectively cap the
    swap partitions size to maximum of 2*CAP. Default is set to 1024, thus
    capping swap partitions to 2GB maximum. LP: #1351267

So I'm guessing this should be WONTFIX. Is that correct Dimitri?

Title:
  Ubuntu 18.04 Installer creates swap partition too small

Status in partman-auto package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Installed Ubuntu 18.04 final release.

  The disk is 512 Gigabyte, the RAM is 8 Gigabyte. The installer just
  gave me 979 Megabyte of space. I chose LVM to have an encrypted drive.

  Here are some details:

  Swap:          979M          0B        979M
