Hi,
i just booted the live iso in a VM with 1G of memory and after I start
"Software" the VM locks up completely after a few seconds. Having "top"
open while starting "Software" shows very little free/cached RAM left
over before the system dies so I upped the RAM of the VM to 2G and with
that the problem disappears.
It looks like the 1G of RAM recommended on http://fedoraproject.org/
really aren't sufficient to run the basic stuff and this should be
updated to probably 1.5-2G RAM or at least 1G RAM + some swap.
Well, I did some testing during F20 cycle which seems to indicate F20
Shell takes up a lot more memory than F19 when using llvmpipe. We're not
sure exactly what's going on yet, I need to find time to circle back and
investigate, but I suspect '1GB in a VM' and '1GB on metal' will be
somewhat different experiences. 1GB is getting a bit thin for the
default desktop with the current typical requirements of GNOME, FF and
LO, though, yeah.
FWIW: F20 runs without many problems on 512k RAM:
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 508392 kB
MemFree: 127952 kB
# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug)
However, this is a system on which Fedora was installed long time ago
gradually upgraded to f20.
