How To Install Wubi

[TheHolyphantom]

Just wondering, when you boot with linux does it still run windows? Also, will this work on a netbook (toshiba)?

[iPlayer2]

@TheHolyphantom when you start your computer it will give you a boot screen to choose which ever you like (windows or linux) an it should work on a netbook. just make sure there is enough hdd space.

My boot loader does not show up after I installed ubuntu! Please help, it boots straight into windows.

Hi does any one know if installing Ubuntu using Wubi can installs 64bits? secondly does 64bits support 8G DDR3 ram?Thanks

[PrinceJimbo01]

Correction you said a great variety of the linux OSes.

There are many other flavors of Linux: Arch, Archbang, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, and so on.

[dylan99x3]

@NachosruleBloxxer that no problem

[dylan99x3]

[iPlayer2]

@dylan99x3 are you administrator on your computer?

[dylan99x3]

@iPlayer2 yes im the administrator on my computer and im using windows 7 64-bit

[iPlayer2]

@dylan99x3 run the installer as administrator. this will give it rights to all files.

[dylan99x3]

@iPlayer2 i tried it but did not work :( pls help i want ubuntu so bad

[iPlayer2]

@dylan99x3 go to the ubuntu website and download the latest iso, have your computer boot from the cd and just choose install side by side with windows. its as easy as wubi, you could burn it to a disk like i said or you magic iso i think.

[dylan99x3]

@iPlayer2 ty for youre fast response i will let you know if it works

[stratos2001zoe]

@dylan99x3 me too!

[Structurecraftserver]

@dylan99x3 I have the same error! Could you fix it on your machine?

[dylan99x3]

@Structurecraftserver No :(

[iPlayer2]

@THAGaMeDaT yes you could make it kind of like a live boot CD. or just install it and choose your external hard drive from the boot menu when you start your computer.

Can you repartition to delete Windows from linux if you install linux using Wubi?

[smudge123876]

[djcangry14]

My Mouse Does Nothing!!

[christian3547]

that link to download wubi has 2 trojans on it anyway ..scanned with virus total

[nrgshkl093]

@christian3547 whaaa? thats impossible and by the way linux is immune to windows viruses and that site is trustworthy and ive never heard of "virustotal" must be a shitty antivirus get AVG its free and comes with some really cool security featues

[happywheelstutorials]

@nrgshkl093 yeah, AVG kicks ass

[lindsaymobil22]

u dont need to go to wubi installer website, u can just and download ubuntu 9.04 livecd image and insert it when windows i running, autorun will ask u if u wanna run wubi, hit yes, it saves wubi having to download the iso and it saves you the time!

[iPlayer2]

@lindsaymobil22 now you dont need to download wubi. before you had to. when i made this video.

[SilverPhoenix1000]

Aww maann....I spent 2 HOURS 'cause of my internet in installing Ubuntu and when it said restart,I chose to manually restart and when I rebooted it the other day and chose Ubuntu,two lines something like linux( etc.What did I do wrong.Did I had to reboot it when it said to reboot?

[MrPooppy1]

when i look under desktop environments its got kubuntu does it work?

[MrPooppy1]

man you computer puts mine to shame i took 3 hours to download ubuntu it works but i uninstalled it to try kubuntu and xubuntu

[theroyalbeggar1]

i downloaded the .iso file and burned the image then ran the disk...

the steps are the same as shown in your video...

And on reboot it even gives an option to run Ubuntu...

But when i select the Ubuntu OS it starts giving this wierd numbers and self runned command...

I'd love to try installing directly from the internet as shown in the video, but with a speed of aprox. 256kbps it will take around 11hrs to get it done.

Also where i live we have load shedding commonly called as power cuts.

2 Questions to you if you don't mind.

1) How do you uninstall it

2) Do you have to use password?

(you wrote Matt and then a pass, is it needed?)

[iPlayer2]

1) To Uninstall It In Your Vista Side Go To Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall A Program. Then Once There Choose Ubuntu And Uninstall It.

2) When You Use Wubi Installer You Have To Set A Password Or It Will Not Go To The Next Step Of The Installation. Although When You Go To Ubuntu You Can Choose To Automatically Login. So You Are Not Prompted To Use Your Username And Password.

[changolucky]

is this like a virtual machine????

[iPlayer2]

no i have a seperate video for that. the reason that this is not a virtual machine is because u have to dual boot it with ur main OS. a virtual machine runs as a program on ur operating system. if u understood that say ok lol

[changolucky]

and what happen if windows fail?? ...Ubuntu fails too??

[iPlayer2]

Yes Because It Needs The Windows To Run

[Jesus0fSuburbia1]

I had only "ubuntu" withouth the others (Kubuntu, Xubuntu...) when i downloaded it.

[iPlayer2]

what do u mean it did not give u the options of any other os to install?

[Jesus0fSuburbia1]

Yes, on "Desktop Environment" i dont have other options, there is no Kubuntu or Xubuntu...

[iPlayer2]

Well what is it that u wanted to install, if it is Ubuntu then u shouldn't worry about it. if you wanted to instal Kubuntu or Xubuntu i suggest downloading it again and then they should be there.

[iCantThinkOfAnName]

How do you uninstall it when you no longer want it?
