| snlpnstslocn | hello people | 21:32 |
| snlpnstslocn | i need some hep with the installation of ubuntu | 21:32 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, then ask | 21:33 |
| snlpnstslocn | right | 21:38 |
| snlpnstslocn | i am installing ubuntu on virtual box | 21:38 |
| snlpnstslocn | i have created a 8 gb virtual hard drive | 21:39 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, seems a bit small | 21:39 |
| escott_ | you could get minimal, and maybe server, but not a gui | 21:40 |
| snlpnstslocn | is the one expanding on demand not the fix one | 21:40 |
| snlpnstslocn | so i reckon it should expand then as long as more space is required | 21:41 |
| snlpnstslocn | my problem is when i try to install i get the no root defined message | 21:42 |
| snlpnstslocn | can you help me with setting the partition? | 21:42 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, you are misunderstanding what "expanding on demand means" | 21:42 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, the virtual disk needs to be larger than 8GB. it could a petabyte if you want | 21:43 |
| escott_ | it won't all be allocated initially, and as the installed OS begins using the disk it will allocate space for the disk | 21:44 |
| escott_ | which makes it slower, but the guest still needs to be told that the disk is big | 21:44 |
| snlpnstslocn | ok | 21:44 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, otherwise ubuntu is going to think "I have 8GB of space, so i will restrict myself to 8GB" and will never do anything to cause it to get bigger than 8GB | 21:45 |
| snlpnstslocn | I'll make another virtual hard drive then | 21:45 |
| snlpnstslocn | like 15 gig is gonna be fine?! | 21:46 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, that still seems small, but depending upon you usage it might be big enough | 21:46 |
| snlpnstslocn | hmm | 21:47 |
| snlpnstslocn | ok then can you give me some guide lines how to set the partition on a new hard drive i am going to create | 21:47 |
| snlpnstslocn | bigger :) | 21:48 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, i find that a basic gui and core software comes out to ~10GB. that can vary depending on what you install, but for the stuff i use the core is 10GB. then you have to consider the data you will have on the computer | 21:49 |
| escott_ | snlpnstslocn, and things work more efficiently when there is more free space. if you are committed to expanding disks in VBOX go ahead and overcommit. make it 100GB | 21:50 |
| snlpnstslocn | sounds good | 21:51 |
| snlpnstslocn | I'll follow your tips then | 21:52 |
