Hello DebianEdu,

When installing with the 13.7.0 BD ISO image (in offline mode, i.e. no network available) and adding `desktop=gnome` to the kernel command line, the installation proceeds to the end, but /dev/mapper/vg_system-root is completely full (all 16GB is used).

See openQA: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/580778

The openQA environment provides a 30GiB empty HD during the installation. A 'regular', i.e. non-DebianEdu GNOME installation requires 4.7GB in `/`.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus

Hi Roland,

Is debian-edu-ltsp-install executed by any chance during the
Standalone installation?

Is it possible for you to identify where the storage consumption in /
takes place?

Please note, that Debian Edu by default installs many extra edu
software packages. Maybe 30G are too little storage for an hdd device
for Debian Edu.

Please check the lib/partman recipes in debian-edu-install.git on
salsa to check for defaults.

No, this is a pure standalone workstation, no LTSP scripts were running.

The other desktops (even KDE) have more than 1GB free in vg_system-root.

Here are the numbers of my local openQA instance (using the unmodified partman recipe):

In a manual installation, using a 70GB HD and a local modification of /usr/lib/partman/recipies-amd64-efi/98standalone to add 10GB to vg_system-root:
```
/dev/mapper/vg_system-root   25G   19G  4.8G  80% /
```

When I compared the output of `dpkg-query -l` of the broken GNOME installation and the working GNOME installation, it shows that all dictionaries and language packs could be installed properly (which were partly installed with the unmodified recipe).

Looking at the XFCE and KDE installations, only 'task-english' is installed, whereas on GNOME every language gets installed. So GNOME behaves differently.

Looking further, the package 'gnome-core' has a recommends on 'locales-all', which will enable the installation of every language pack in the `/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/improve-desktop-l10n` script (which runs `locale -a` to find out which languages need to be available)

So it boils down to determining the desired situation:
* A) should all languages have been available for every desktop (i.e. install locales-all)
* B) should in the case 'locales-all' is installed the 'improve-desktop-l10n' script use only the currently active language (from /etc/locale.conf)
* C) should in the case 'locales-all' is installed the 'improve-desktop-l10n' script use only the locales from `dpkg-reconfigure -p low locales` (i.e. /etc/locale.gen)

My preference would be: C, B, A

With kind regards,
Roland

Hi Roland,
Hi Jeremy (getting him into the loop as he introduced locales-all in
GNOME and we are in the process of having this also done for Lomiri),

My preference is C, too. B next, then A.
