Description

Observation

This is a follow-up to https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234775

The tests run into an out of memory condition. Using a Qt based interface, an increasing kernel and all around,the system is no longer installable on 1GB of RAM

There have been multiple test runs with 2GB of RAM and they all passed in openQA
The system can still be installed on 1GB using ncurses or, even better, image based installations.

Running the Qt-based installer on as low as 1GB is not very realistic nowadays - let's adjust those tests to use 2GB of RAM

openQA test in scenario microos-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-container_host@64bit fails in
await_install

Test suite description

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 20250117

Expected result

Last good: 20250116 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

I just cloned the last run from TW with

openqa-clone-job --within-instance https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4791261 QEMURAM=2048

which runs as https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4792599 - and passed the installer alraeadt

Yes this was a trap. Cloning the job and only changing the MACHINE setting doesn't update QEMURAM. PR updated and a new VR passes.
