Well, firstly I reset my computer to factory settings (without knowing that Ubuntu was going to stay still). After setting up, I found out that Ubuntu was staying still at the start up boot manager, when I clicked it, it gave me errors. Ubuntu 12.04 also stole my 18GB hard drive. Now, I can’t find Ubuntu uninstaller in my programs whether I can’t find Ubuntu file in my C drive.
Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 via WUBI to my lenovo ideapad laptop. I originally wanted to dual boot with my windows7, but the windows7/lenovo combination is configured to take up 4 primary partitions, and my hard drive is a bit to small for a logical partition install.
I tried installing WUBI on a very slow computer running Windows XP. I thought that maybe it would get some extra life out of the computer, but it was so slow that I removed the WUBI and gave up. If I make a partition and install a regular version of Ubuntu to that partition will this give me the result I'm looking for, or is a slow computer just a slow computer!
All,
I'm posting from work, so I'm not in front of my home PC right now--but I do have a wubi question (since I'm about to try using wubi to install Ubuntu on a computer here at work (that computer has no optical drive and I have no thumb drive to hand, thus the need for wubi), and depending on outcome I'll try it at home):
Specifically, should I devote a separate drive to Ubuntu, or should
Hi,
I would like to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer from Windows using Wubi, but I have a problem with it. Firstly I mount a CD image in a virtual drive via Daemon tool. Next I start Wubi, fill all installation fields, and then I click next. Then Wubi starts to extract files, etc.
I was installing Wubi, and I was chatting on the Ubuntu IRC Network about my sound driver problem. When Wubi was finished installing I restarted my computer and it went into Ubuntu without any boot menu. I did a hard shutdown and restarted my computer, and the boot menu was there so I chose Ubuntu. It says "Ubuntu is preparing to run Ubuntu for the first time" or something like that.
I'm running Windows XP with all the latest patches.
I downloaded Wubi to my computer, installed it and ran wubi. Wubi downloaded the Ubuntu (I assume it was the 12.10 release) file and extracted the Ubuntu files. Next, it asked to restart the computer.
hey everyone,
I wanted to use Wubi to install ubuntu 12.04. I used the default the settings and it downloaded the 12.04 iso and asked me to reboot as usual. The grub screen popped up and I picked Ubuntu but then it gave me "Syntax not set" and I had to hit reset and reboot into windows. Anyone can help me out. I was installing to C drive which my windows parition is on.
Thanks
I'm using Windows 8 (32bit) customer preview and installing WUBI Ubuntu 12,04.1.
I down loaded 32 bit installer from ubuntu dot com, The wubi installer says AMD 64 xt.
I had a previous 12,04 install and in the terminal typed in uname -a, it say's 64 bit.
I also opened detail from the system and it read 64 bit system.
