http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539872 Summary: insufficient disk space checks before KDE-LiveCD installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 7 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novellbmw@lsmod.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=318657) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=318657) yast2/installation logs User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.21) Gecko/20090410 SUSE/1.1.16-1.8 SeaMonkey/1.1.16 I ran the default install with M7 openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-Build0271-i686.iso on a 2GB VirtualBox disk and it failed badly with a full disk. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a VirtualBox VM with 2GB Disk, (enable PAE,ACPI,IO-APIC) 2. in the VM run the default install with M7 openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-Build0271-i686.iso Actual Results: The partitioner suggested a 1.7GB root partition and did not warn about insufficient space before starting installation. Only later, it popped up an error dialog "Switching to Installed System Failed" not showing the true source of the error with possible actions to fix. df in a Konsole showed /mnt to be 100% full. Expected Results: the disk space should be checked and either a) the automatic selection of packages be reduced to fit the disk-size or b) a warning (as pop-up or text in red letters) be issued and the user allowed to change the package-selection accordingly or let continue on his own risk c) if disk-space runs out during installation, the user should be notified of this event so that he can take appropriate measures. === Checking YaST log file /mnt//var/log/YaST2//y2log... === SCR process has died, printing the last log lines... 2009-09-17 10:24:29 <1> linux(3483) [qt-ui] YQUI.cc(calcDefaultSize):425 Default size: 800 x 600 2009-09-17 10:24:29 <1> linux(3483) [qt-ui] YQUI.cc(initUI):255 Forcing /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4 open failed -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
