[21:32] <snlpnstslocn> hello people
[21:32] <snlpnstslocn> i need some hep with the installation of ubuntu
[21:33] <escott_> snlpnstslocn, then ask
[21:38] <snlpnstslocn> right
[21:38] <snlpnstslocn> i am installing ubuntu on virtual box
[21:39] <snlpnstslocn> i have created a 8 gb virtual hard drive
[21:39] <escott_> snlpnstslocn, seems a bit small
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <snlpnstslocn> so i reckon it should expand then as long as more space is required
[21:42] <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"
[21:43] <escott_> snlpnstslocn, the virtual disk needs to be larger than 8GB. it could a petabyte if you want
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <snlpnstslocn> bigger :)
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <snlpnstslocn> sounds good
[21:52] <snlpnstslocn> I'll follow your tips then
