I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on VirtualBox with a fixed size of 30 GB. However, when I start up the VM, it says I don't have the required 4.9GB of space to install and in the settings it says there's only 4MB. I've tried Googling around but I couldn't find an answer.
This is a typical error you might get when installing Ubuntu on a vm.
A workaround is to boot to live CD and install Ubuntu from Live Desktop.
1. Boot to Live CD:
2. Install Ubuntu:

I prefer installing it on VirtualBox though. Is there any fix?
Did exactly that but it still says I don't have enough space.
Hi there
might be obvious but how much disk space do you actually have available ON THE HOST BEFORE installing / creating the VM -- from the OP it seemed you only had 4 MB spare !!!
