That is pretty tight memory wise. Minimum RAM 2G is what's listed on getfedora.org, and 4G i s recommended. The biggest difference memory wise I can think of between F32 and F33 is no disk based swap by default. It uses zram based swap. And in such a tight case, only 50% may not be enough. Even before the zram change though, I'd see ~250M of swap used with a 2G VM. So that means it's already under provisioned, and walking on thin ice. But we should make sure we have a complete explanation before making adjustments. You could see if zram set to 75% and 100% help, just as an extra data point. Create /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf and edit to include [zram0] zram-fraction=0.75 and then 'systemctl restart swap-create@zram0' confirm with swapon and/or zramctl that its size is 75% that of totalmemory You can do this prior to beginning the installation. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
