Ubuntu :: Wubi Won't Install Netbook Edition
Aug 28, 2010
I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Edition on my Asus Eee PC 1015 netbook (running Windows 7 starter) using wubi, but it fails to install every time. Wubi will download the torrent, download the .iso, then tell me it "cannot retrieve the required installation files." I have also tried manually downloading the .iso and placing it in the same folder as wubi, but it fails to validate the file and begins downloading the torrent.
Just to check, I tried using wubi to install Ubuntu 10.4 and had no problems at all.
I took a look at the log, which says
Code:
08-27 13:37 DEBUG TaskList: ### Running check_iso...
08-27 13:37 DEBUG CommonBackend: Checking C:ubuntuinstallubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso
[Code]....
EDIT: Right, so it was the wrong version: Ubuntu is 10.04.1, Ubuntu Netbook Edition is still 10.04 and won't work with wubi 10.4.1. I found wubi version 10.4 on [URL] and used that, install worked.

How can I install Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 to a USB drive so I can run it on any computer. I want the full version of it on my USB drive not just the live CD version.I want to use Ubuntu on my school computers.Basically, I wanted a 100% portable UNE that saves all settings, data, programs, etc and is still as fast as possible for a USB.

I've just unwrapped my new netbook. Its got the new Atom N450 processor and the first thing I want to do is get XP home off of it. I'm just wondering if I should install 9.10 full or download the "netbook edition". Whats the difference? Will I see better performance with the netbook or full edition? (just asking because I'd like to avoid the ~650mb download if I can)

I own an eee pc 900a and would like to install [url] to it.
The eee pc hasn't got an CDROM drive so I have to convert the iso file to an img file to get it on an usb stick for installation.
This page describes how to do that with [url] with Windows, Mac or Ubuntu using usb-creato. But I have non of these available.
How can I convert the iso to an USB image with the help of debian ?

I have a 160 GB Spaced 'HP Mini 1000' partitioned to two 80 GB drives. On one of them, Windows XP is already installed.
I would like to create a dual boot so that the other empty drive has Ubuntu Netbook edition 10.10.
I am a newbie with Linux, well versed with Windows and decided to venture with learning Linux by doing this.
So far, I have just downloaded the Netbook Edition from the following link.

How should I go about installing the Ubuntu netbook edition to dual boot with XP?

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

I have problems installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition (ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso)on Asus eeepc 1001PX. code...
I have tried both Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3.exe and the Ubuntu start up disk creator to prepare my USB-stick.
I have earlier installed the Ubuntu desktop 10.10 on the same machine with the same method without problems.

I have already installed Ubuntu from an USB drive, however everytime I have to install it on a desktop/laptop or netbook, I have to "burn" the USB again, so I wonder if there is any way to have both (Ubuntu desktop and Netbook Edition) on the same USB drive and choose wich one you want to install at the boot moment.
I usually have the ISO images and copy the files to the USB with the "Startup Disk Creator" utility built in Ubuntu or eventually with Universal USB Installer or UNetbootin...

I have just purchased an Asus EeePC 1001HA netbook and I would like to install Ubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 (love the look and the brilliant interface), but I can't get the wireless network to work. I am currently running from a 4Gb USB stick that has the LiveCD on it with a 1Gb persistence. The network notification area only shows wired and VPN connections. I have tried installing the Ralink 3090 driver but I have had no luck in getting the wireless to work.

I would like to know if I could burn Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition with a CD-R & not use my flash-drive for install. Has anyone used a CD-R & Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition to install on a new hard drive? How come it ask you to use a flash drive & not a CD-R?

I have a netbook running Ubuntu Lucid. Is there a way to try out the netbook interface without actually changing the whole installation. I have a separate home but still would like to try it 1st. I tried as an install it a few versions back and hated it but it seems a lot improved with 10.04.

Is there a torrent for the netbook edition of ubuntu.
I'm running it in VirtualBox because I only want it to faff around with, I tried the full desktop version but it was a bit slow so I thought I'd give the netbook version a go. (I'm on a laptop)
I'm asking this because the download is very slow.
I'm on a 20mb connection and it starts off around 400k but then goes down to 30 so it will take hours.

So, I was wondering if I can replace my 10.10 desktop edition with Netbook edition? I loved the interface of Netbook edition, so I want to get. If get it on my normal laptop, will there be any problems? Can I install, Apache or Nginx on it? What are the main differences between them?

the title pretty much says it all, is there at this point in time (december 2010) still a place where I could download ubuntu netbook edition 10.04? I want to do that because I think it looks better and more importantly, it uses compiz.

I recently been given my dad's old netbook which is a toshiba nb100
I installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition onto it as i have some experiance with linux and have used ubuntu before and thought it would speed up this little machine. After the initial grind of the instal, it seemed to be running fine, however i didnt really like the netbook layout.
I noticed on the log in screen that i could select the desktop or netbook edition, is that normal? i have been using the desktop version since.
I have been doing some research however into the 11.04 release that is almost ready, and is ready in alpha stages. And what i understand is that the netbook layout is called Unity, and will be replacing gnome.
If and when i upgrade to 11.04, if i upgrade on the netbook login, will it replace both the logins i have access to currently, because the ubuntu install is changed and that was basically just choosing which display to use, unity or gnome. is that right?
Also i heard that for the 11.10 release they will be bringing the gnome desktop back? and that ubuntu netbook edition is being scrapped as they are basically merging
At the moment i prefer the desktop layout as i know where to access everything, although im sure i could get used to Unity, if its not too graphically demanding.
Either way i think i will wait till the end of april to upgrade to 11.04 as this laptop is fairly slow to begin with.

On the Ubuntu website, under the alternate downloads, there is a link for 11.04 netbook torrent download but clicking on the link gives an "unobtainable" message. On the "error" page, Chromium provided a link to the ubuntu page with all the 11.04 versions and checking through those there is not a netbook version.
Does this mean that there will be no netbook version of 11.04 and the desktop version will be OK on a netbook or is it simply that it is not available yet? I am intending to upgrade my current Acer Aspire One to 11.04 and am considering a clean install rather than upgrading via the update manager. I have downloaded the desktop version just in case.

I am running Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 on my netbook.
I noticed this version has the ability to switch between desktop environments such as Gnome Desktop and the Netbook Edition UI. When I am in Gnome, I really love using CPU Frequency Monitor available for the Gnome top panel.
My question is: Can I use the CPU Frequency Monitor in the Netbook Edition? If so, How?

how to enable switching between my current 10.04 environment and that of the 10.04 Netbook Edition.
I did find a few articles which were applicable to Karmic and Hardy, but I have not found one that is specifically for Lucid.

On UNE, for example a Firefox Window is opened in workspace 1. I'd like to have a new Firefox window on workspace 2. But when I switch to workspace 2 and hit the Firefox Icon in the left launcher panel, it only brings me back to the running instance of Firefox on the first workspace.So what is an easy way to have a second Firefox Window on the second workspace?

i am currently using ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition and i recently noticed the net book edition option in the login screen. i googled a bit on it an liked the screenshots. so decided to give it a try. i dunno what the problem is but after i login, i just get a plain screen ( no application panel or the side panel )but the options work.. i just don't see them on the screen. like when i click on the left top corner, i get the proper window and i can start apps from it.. i just cant see the panel or the side bar. and the other problem is that after any app is launched, i wont get the title bar also.. btw, here is a screenshot of the desktop. notice the bands at the top and the side. those are supposed to be my panels.. but no icons. if i click on the extreme top left i get the menu for selecting options like web music etc.
