Ubuntu Installation :: Wubi Does Not Start / Get It To Work?
Mar 2, 2011I have the Ubuntu Netbook CD. I tried installing Ubuntu by launching Wubi.exe. But nothing seems to be happening. I opened task manager and checked whether the process wubi.exe is starting. It is indeed starting up, but goes off in a few seconds.
I downloaded the wubi.exe again and tried, but without any success.
Any clues?
Ubuntu :: GRUB Error 22 \ Install Via Wubi, But Had To Format Partitions (can't Do It On Wubi )?
Nov 27, 2010I wanted to install ubuntu via wubi, but i had to format my partitions (can't do it on wubi ) so i used a crappy program(i don't remember the name) to get rid of Backtrack4 , because i wanted windows kept for my mom.So, that was the sorry, i've ended up with a GRUB error 22, and a Backtrack4 CD stuck in my DVD-rom.So my question is: Can somewone tell me how to fix error 22? (i've seen some methods online, but i obviously can't put a Windows CD in my DVD rom because the Backtrack4 DVD is stuck in there.

Ubuntu Installation :: Start A Dual Boot With Windows 7 And 10.04, Wubi Or LiveCD?

View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: VirtualBox On Wubi Ubuntu Can't Start VMs Due To Incorrectly Handling Absolute Paths?
Jun 27, 2011I mostly do .Net development in a Windows 7 virtualbox. I use the host for simple things such as web browsing, skype, chat, etc. All things that are fantastically available on Ubuntu which I in many ways prefer. So this has been begging the question for a while: why even use Windows on the host, seems like a Linux host would use less resources (untested) and allow my Windows VMs to run better while allowing me to do my non-development stuff in an interface I prefer.
So easiest way to do this - I downloaded wubi and installed Ubuntu. I installed in it Virtualbox, and then start add and start my VM to get this message: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine VS2010, Could not open the medium '/host/Users/George Mauer/Virtualbox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi; VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file '/host/Users/George Mauer/Virtualbox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi; (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
You see what's going on? With wubi, the windows drive gets mounted at /host/ but virtualbox is for some reason appending an absolute path! I would very much like to use the same exact VM file since it would retain Snapshots and I would be able to use it in either windows or Ubuntu mode. However, even if I try to simply mount the drives into a new VM I get an error: Failed to open the hard disk /host/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi. Cannot register the hard disk '/host/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi' {guid...} because a hard disk '/host/Users/George Mauer/VirtualBox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi with UUID {guid...} already exists.
This is especially odd since this worked fine with my recently created Android VM, though this might have something to do with the fact that VirtualBox recently changed their default VM storage locations. Any idea how to fix this? My Linux-fu is weak but I seem to remember from CS class something about symbolic links that might be relevant here?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Wubi Doesn't Run In ME
Mar 2, 2010Wubi doesn't seem to run on Win ME? I downloaded wubi and click to run, the hour glass spins for ten seconds then nothing happens. Windows task manager shows nothing related to wubi running. Situation : I want to install a dual boot UBUNTU system on an older laptop whose CD is broken, floppy works, it's already dual partioned, the BIOS doesn't support booting to USB drives, but it can read USB drives. I've got a similar laptop that fully installed 9.1 from CD and it works fine (ubuntu only).
I figured if I could install a dual boot ubuntu on this unit via wubi, I could then delete and absorb the windows partition. However, wubi doesn't appear to run. Supposedly wubi runs on 98. I can't ever recall anything that 98 ran that ME couldn't.Except Wubi? Could it be having trouble connecting to the internet via an old browser (ie 5.5).
Ubuntu Installation :: How To Test The Wubi 10.04
Mar 26, 2010If you still have windows on some of your machines and a bit of free drive space, your help testing Wubi for the 10.04 Lucid release would be most welcome.Please use the latest Wubi version available on [URL] There is no need to burn or use a CD, Wubi will automatically download and use the latest daily ISO.If you have any issue, follow this procedure:
Uninstall and try with a clean installation using the latest revision from the above link
If that does not help, when you reboot into Ubuntu the first time, you can press ESC for more installation boot options, sometimes those fix the issue. Check [URL] if there is already an open bug, in case feel free to add a comment in there If none of the above helps, feel free to ask on this thread (I am subscribed). If you think you stumbled upon a new bug, an even better place for reporting your issue is [URL] More points if you attach the wubi.log file which is located in your user temp directory.

Sep 1, 2010I have recently discovered ubuntu and like it's elegance and simplicity and want to learn more about it "hands on". To this end I have tried to put it on one of my PC's running the Vista SP2 OS...When i try to install it with the CD the drive spins up then starts "hunting"..next the PC shuts down..black screen monitor.no KB or Mouse..the monitor flashes a box saying "power saving mode" then all is dead except for the power button being lit..I have to manually turn the PC off to recover...Next i did a D/L of wubi and rebooted as advised.Selected ubuntu on the BIOS and had the same final result as B4 with the CD. I have D/L and burned 2 CD's, one with my XP machine and the other with the Vista machine..Both CD's work as advertised on my XP machine (i did the "live" install) but not the Vista. The Vista machine is an HP with: AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+ CPU..3 GB of RAM..250 GB HDD. I do not like Vista ( i inherited the machine) it's a pain in the posterior. IMHO ubuntu and it's ilk are the way to go and i intend to do just that one way or the other.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: When Will Wubi Support 10.10?
Nov 4, 2010I tried upgrading my netbook's 10.04 install (which I installed via Wubi) to 10.10, but when it restarted the whole install was boned and unusable (literally just a black screen). I had a feeling this might happen, so I went to re-install, but I noticed that Wubi will only install 10.04, and I want to try out the new Unity interface. Is Wubi LTS only, or are they just taking some extra time to release 10.10 support?
As for why I'm using Wubi, my netbook has no disc drive, and I don't have a spare USB drive around.

Mar 21, 2011I have been reading about Ubuntu for a long time and now I finally decided to give it a try. I am now running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2. I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 and the appropriate wubi for it. I wish to install using wubi as this is my first time using Ubuntu and I wish to see if it is the right thing for me. However after 4 hours I now give up. Both wubi and the .iso file are on the same folder yet when I click wubi.exe I get the usual windows permission prompt and after I click continue nothing happens, no installation, no prompts, just nothing happens. What is causing this? I really want to give Ubuntu a try.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Any Way To Break WUBI Out Of Box
Jul 31, 2011Is there a way to break wubi out of its box? As in, resizing /dev/sdX and moving the current partition data onto there? Or would I have to do a fresh-install, and then copy over the post install data? The reason I'm asking is because, The desktop Wubi is currently running on, has migrated into a router(has some epic umph), and its reached its 30GB limit, and I also have the hard drive space to support it now.
System Specs:
AMD Phenom II 1090T @ 3.7Ghz(6 cores)
16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
2x AMD Radeon HD 6850s.
+2 NICs forgot brand :/
Off Topic but slightly relevant: Nic 1 = Server Switch, Nic 2 = Non-Server Switch.

Ubuntu Installation :: Wubi Boot Menu Won't Appear
Jan 7, 2010I installed Xubuntu 9.10 with Wubi and it worked fine until a recent kernel update broke my install. I uninstalled through Windows and reinstalled Xubuntu 9.10 with Wubi with no apparent problems.When I look in C:ubuntudisks, root.disk, swap.disk, and the boot folder are both present. The C:ubuntudisksootgrub folder is empty; I don't know whether or not it should be that way.But when my computer starts, it just boots Windows Vista without displaying the menu asking me to select my OS.
