Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading Wubi - Does LVPM Work For Moving 10.04
May 19, 2010
Will the LVPM utility move Wubi 10.04 onto a dedicated partition?
[URL]
The website hasn't been updated since 8.04.
If not, is there a resource that will assist me in moving my data, settings, keyring (and programs if possible) from the Wubi install to a clean install on a new partition?
I'm planning for a transition from Lucid 10.04 Wubi to a dedicated partition for Lucid Studio 10.04, but have been using Wubi for emails, XAMPP web development, etc.

I had a wubi install- but it only let me dedicate 60 GB. I quickly ran out of that available space and decided I'd better try one of those tools to move my stuff on a partition of it's own.
I just used LVPM to transfer Wubi to the HDD, and.. it worked. Almost.
All I had to do was edit my grub file. I did that in Wubi, opened the menu.lst file with gksudo and added this just before windows: (I want Ubuntu to be first on the list, ofc)
Code:
# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
# title Other operating systems:
# root
## Added By Human Being
code....
(Please tell me if anything up there isn't needed, is wrong, or if I left something out..)Now it makes me press "S" before I can see the login screen at boot-up.
I want the quickest boot possible for Ubuntu, with a way for us to use Windows if needed.
It's looking for an Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 CD, and I have the 10.10 Alternate AMD64 DVD.. and that message doesn't respond at all... I can press "S", and then it goes to the login screen, all works fine. I can update, I looked to see if the check-box for a CD upgrade was checked, but it wasn't.. I ticked the box (just for science), put in the alt-disk, and.... again it waited forever.. So that must be the wrong CD. Unticked it.. Also I just updated this morning fine. Still, that 'Press "S" to skip' at boot up is annoying
Do I have to download the standard Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 ISO again.. (before it kept freezing), or is that futile.. I mean, all it's going to do is downgrade, (if it does anything..) right?

I installed Koala 9.10 with Wubi, and have liked it enough to give it a "native" installation on a partition. I've been looking around at forums, and it seems the most attractive way, with LVPM, hasn't been tested officially with 9.10, and I can't find a post of anyone that has.
So, my question is, does anyone know the best way to upgrade my install to its own partition? My drive currently has 2 primary partitions (main Windows Vista OS, and a recovery) and one extended with a logical drive. I don't know whether to try the LVPM method, or try to just uninstall Wubi and install 9.10 after from the Live CD. But, the reason I went the Wubi route in the first place was the install/Live CD would hang when I got to the screen with the options to check the install disk (I had previously checked the hash, and it was fine), proceed without changing disk, etc. I think that is a problem with the install getting confused with my multiple drives/card readers, and not being able to find the correct one. Wubi had a similar problem giving me something like "please insert disk into drive X:", and I would have to just click over and over, each time X changing from one drive letter/number to the next, until the install just continued when it found the right drive.

I've tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 last year but my modem was malfunctioning, so i gave up on Ubuntu, but i got a new modem and installed Ubuntu using wubi, i loved it and ill make it my main OS, but now i have 2 problems:
1.-I tried using lvpm, but i ended up with a 60 GB new.disk and my hard drive has just 30 Gb (30 gb wubi installation and the 60gb from the new.disk)
2.-i dont know how to shrink windows partition and i dont want to loose my config, tweaks and installed apps my hard drive has 230 gb capacity and i want to leave at least 100 gb to windows
I decided to uninstal wubi and im going to install ubuntu the right way.. it just seems easier..

I am using ubuntu with wubi right now and after a while I am thinking about creating a separate partition for ubuntu and installing ubuntu on it. But I was wondering how can I transfer my files and apps form wubi to the ubuntu installed on the partition? I don't want to install all the apps again and tweaks etc....

I have been using wubi for more than half an year. Now I want to move this wubi to local partition (normal ubuntu install). What is the best way to do it? It should be working parallel with windows 7 which i have already.
Is it possible to let windows control the booting, even after installing ubuntu?

I 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?

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 with WUBI. In the setup wizard in windows, I selected the D partition to install Ubuntu on. It extracted the files, and after a reboot, and selecting Ubuntu, the Ubuntu setup wizzard appeared. After it was done, it rebooted. I selected Ubuntu, and this appeared on my screen:
Code:
booting from (hd0,0)...
And there it stucks! I tried editing C:oot.ini, to let it select the ubuntu files.
My original boot.ini file:
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[Code].....
I have very little space on my system partition (C:) So, I installed it on D:. I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2.

I switched to Ubuntu about a month ago and have been loving every bit of it so far Today, I decided it was time to switch from having ubuntu installed within windows (through wubi) into creating a separate partition for itself.
I tried UN-installing using the wubi-uninstaller file but that did not work. Tried removing from the Add/Remove box in Windows 7 but neither wubi nor ubuntu were listed. SO I ended up manually deleting ubuntu from the C: and then using EasyBCD to remove Ubuntu from the boot menu. It may all sound great but I noticed that my hard disk is missing around 25GB of space. I even re-installed windows 7 but that hasn't changed this. It may well be that my hard disk is just old (~2 years) but I think it maybe because of an incorrect UN-install of wubi. Having read through forum posts around the interwebs all evening, this seems to be a problem that a few people share.
ps: I intend on installing Ubuntu again once this hard disk issue is resolved!

I want to upgrade Ubuntu 10.10 installed through Wubi to 11.04. Now, Windows doesn't work. I can't upgrade Ubuntu by it because it is impossible to download files. Can I upgrade it without connecting Ubuntu to the Internet and starting Windows?

I am finally upgrading my 8.04 to 10.04.So I downloaded the alternate CD and after starting from the running system, I ask to update without checking online for corrections.The machine works for a few minutes and returns something like "cannot check online for updates" obviously, as I told not to. At my last update, apparently some 2+ years ago, it was possible to run the system update first and once installed, let it check and download any corrections and changes. Does that not work anymore?

I'm a plain user of Open SUSE 10.2 for more than six months now on a dual boot machine (Vista Ultimate) and I'm 80% mostly on Linux now but because of my job I still have to keep windows.
My 1TB HDD is full and I've got a new 1TB HDD to add to my system. My plan is to leave this HDD only for Vista and to use the new HDD for Open Suse, changing it to the 10.3 version and without to lose my data and my settings (keeping the Home directory).
Considering that I am a ignorant could someone give me a step by step plan as much as detailed possible, in order to succeed?

Wow -everything works with alpha-3 version with a fresh install. Sound, wireless modem, processor speed scaling, sound controls, touch pad, all cores running,power management, battery, fans, etc. NVidia driver is also working. I tried multiple other distro installs - opensuse, Fedora, and ubuntu 10.04 - none worked. Also tried upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 which didn't work either. also tried upgrading to 2.6.35 kernel which didn't work either.
I'm running a toshiba satellite a505-6030 with an i7 core, nvidia graphics gforce 310M. i didn't have to pass any arguments to grub either . First boot seemed to stall, rebooted machine, and it's been working perfectly since.

When I am upgrading, installing something or doing something that requires me to be Authenticated by using my password I just type it in and hit enter. However, each time I just click return after typing in the password it does not work. The window accepts my password but thats it and the window just sits there until it times out a few mins later. For this to work properly I have to type the password and then use the mouse to click the Authentication button. Why is this? Is there a way to solve this so I can just type in my password and click return like I do with everything else?

Just a small inquiry on how Wubi works. I've never tried it, and it states that it installs in windows? That got me thinking, is it somewhat of a "virtual box" or does it install, partition the drive, then install? I would like to know also that are ALL the features that Ubuntu has to offer installed and usable under Wubi such as advanced desktop effects.

When I'm using Nautilus, I've found (for years) that I've had to hit Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V or Del multiple times until the commands would register. I noticed this occurs when the mouse is moving. I've looked under System > Preferences but can't find anything. Is there a key in gconf or something that I can disable?

I 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.

Wubi doesn't let me set the swap file size, so on installation it only creates a swap file of a few hundred megabytes. Because of this, i cannot hibernate my netbook (eeePC 1005HA), which has 2 GB of RAM.
Creating a 2 GB swap file alongside of the original one using the tutorial here did work, but hibernate doesn't seem to work with it. For this reason i thought increasing the original swap's size instead of creating more would be a way to solve my problem.

I have installed Ubuntu on an other computer using a Ubuntu 9.10 cd and I can connect to the internet perfectly. Now that I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, the internet won't work. I can see the connection but doesn't seem to be able to connect to it.
I remember having a similar problem with Ubuntu 9.10 on an different computer but I never found a fix to it. I tried searching for fixes to similar problems but none of them seemed to work.

I like the buttons on the left. I'm running 10.04 & I know how to move them. The problem is that changing themes will move them back right. OK, if the new theme has them on the right that's OK. But going back to the other theme doesn't change them back. They don't seem to be controlled by the theme, or I'm just not doing it right.

I have recently upgraded to 10.04 and subsequently to 10.10. I have a network printer Lexmark C530dn. Before the upgrade to 10.04 it work OK. After the upgrade i have this problem: When i print something it goes right to completed jobs, without an error and without printing. My user is allowed to print, I checked that.
this is from the access log:
localhost - - [08/Nov/2010:20:38:58 +0100] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 253 Create-Printer-Subscription successful-ok
localhost - - [08/Nov/2010:20:39:10 +0100] "POST /printers/Lexmark-C530 HTTP/1.1" 200 205765 Print-Job successful-ok
When i print the self-test page, it prints fine, so I assume the problem's in the system rather than the printer.
