This page suggests that 1 GB is sufficient, but when I tried installing it on a VM with a 1 GB virtual hard disk, I received a "Failed to partition the selected disk" error indicating that the disk was too small. Increasing the disk to 5 GB solved this.

How much space is required for a successful install?

Its depends on the Ubuntu release, 1GB is ok for 12.04 but not 14.04 with all tasks installed.

For 14.04, The official recommendation is 1.75 GB.
