Description Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2014-11-05 18:13:22 CET
Feedback from a beta tester of UCS 4.0 RC3 indicates that

* 384MB RAM are insufficient for using UMC.

The system setup should issue some kind of warning about this.
Comment 1 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2015-02-10 11:24:54 CET
Happened again, I've installed UCS with a mailserver and I had only 512 MB. The installation was not successful.

Attached a screenshot. Please give your opinions. Would you like the popup immediately? Or when visiting the summary. It could also be added as text to the summary.

I think a dedicated popup is the best solution. It should explicitly state that setup may fail of the user chooses to continue. Bonus: It would be great if we add a "shutdown" button here, to give the user the possibility to exit system setup in a controlled way.
Comment 5 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-03-18 13:10:21 CET
I am using 512MB as default value as our quick start guide suggests this:
http://docs.univention.de/quickstart-en-4.0.html

It is configurable via the UCR variable 'system/setup/boot/minimal_memory' which can be set e.g. in appliance scenarios to the value of MinPhysicalRAM from the ini file. Even if the value is lower than that 512MB is used as the absolute minimum.

Should I raise the value from 512 to a higher value as the installation will fail with a mailserver? IMHO we should touch the release notes for that value.

In the first step no shutdown button is added. The implementation of such a button wouldn't be hard (but ACL settings may be).

Stylwise, it would be good not to use (obsolete) icons from the oxygen icon set. I attach an alternative in a correct style fitting also the colour scheme.

Adapted in UDM (AD-connector warning) and system-setup.

"kaputt" seems to be too much colloquial style, IMHO. I'd suggest "... kann zu nicht funktionsfähigen oder nicht mehr reagierenden Sytemen...".

Text changes in svn r59346. Package currently builds.
