Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1. Download latest ubuntu-mini-iso from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mini-iso/daily-live/current/noble-mini-iso-amd64.iso 2. Create virtual 32 Gb hard disk using
fallocate -l32g 32g.raw 3. Launch QEMU VM with allocated 4 Gb of RAM kvm -cdrom ~/Downloads/noble-mini-iso-amd64.iso -drive file=32g.raw,format=raw -m 4096 4. Wait it to boot, select "Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)" system to install. Expected results: * ubuntu-mini-iso is usable as it was in 20.04 LTS from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso Actual results: * ubuntu-mini-iso is not usable and really useless - shows the following text in the QEMU terminal: ``` available memory insufficient requested 2008MiB available 1024MiB failed to determine size reservation for memmap, debug shell ``` Additional notes: it seems that Ubuntu has turned into wrong direction, users of mini.iso should and will switch to Debian. ** Affects: ubuntu-cdimage Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mini-iso-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: noble ** Also affects: ubuntu-cdimage Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058128 Title: ubuntu-mini-iso is useless because of gigantic RAM requirements To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/2058128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
