Installing a GIU not working (default drives too small (Mac) about multipass HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @Jan-X
Thanks for reporting this.

cannot copy extracted data for './usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory' to '/usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)

This message suggests disk space is used up. Did you allocate enough space for the primary instance?
You can also launch an instance with the custom disk space and RAM, see https://multipass.run/docs/create-an-instance#heading--create-an-instance-with-custom-cpu-number-disk-and-ram.

I understand what is going wrong & that the drive is too small.

This is just a new user experience - so it might make sense to add some documentation to the Multipass HowTo website to make things easier for newcomer.

Next would be, that (Unstalling script on a Mac should stop Multipass app - responsible for tray icon.

It works for uninstalling but is still in the tray, trying to quit it results in a hang even preventing you from restarting.
(yes, you could force kill it, but this can - if wanted - to make things easier.....)

Just my two cents,.....

Sorry, I only glanced over your report and did not catch the main message. Documenting it better definitely can make things easier for new users. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for pointing this out, it definitely can be improved later on.
