Tricking Wubi into installing Xubuntu 12 10
Tricking Wubi into installing Xubuntu 12 10
Xubuntu is no longer available on Wubi from release 12.10 and later - as I mentioned here: Xubuntu option to be removed from Wubi. However, there are some people that will want to try it out with Wubi anyway, so heres a way to do it.
Disclaimer: I dont recommend the technique I describe here, but it works fine if thats what you want to do.
It involves downloading two ISOs, one for Xubuntu and another one supported by Wubi. Ill choose lubuntu since its the smallest.
- Dowload the smallest supported ISO: lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso
- Download xubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso (I want 64-bit, but you can use 32-bit too)
- Check the xubuntu md5sum (Wubi will check lubuntu, but you need to check xubuntu).
- Download wubi.exe for release 12.10
- Make sure wubi.exe and the lubuntu ISO are in the same folder. Run Wubi and select lubuntu.
- When it tells you to reboot, select "Reboot later".
- Replace C:ubuntuinstallinstallation.iso with the Xubuntu ISO (renaming to installation.iso)
- Mount the Xubuntu ISO and copy initrd.lz and vmlinuz from the /casper/ directory over the one in C:ubuntuinstall
- Edit the preseed.cfg file in C:ubuntuinstallcustom-installation so that it installs xubuntu-desktop instead of lubuntu-desktop
- Reboot the computer
- Select Lubuntu
- Watch Xubuntu install
- Reboot, select Lubuntu and boot into your new Xubuntu install.
Notes:
I used the C: drive for clarity - if you install to a different drive then modify as required.
If it bugs you, you can rename the Lubuntu menu entry to Xubuntu using bcdedit or easyBCD.
Here are some screenshots for selected steps:

| Step 7a: Delete the existing installation.iso |

| Step 7b: copy the Xubuntu ISO and rename to installation.iso |

| Step 8: Mount the xubuntu ISO and copy vmlinuz and initrd.lz |

| Step 9: Set it to install xubuntu-desktop |

| Step 11: Select Lubuntu |

| Step 12: Watch it install Xubuntu |
Credit: I got this tip from here ironically to install lubuntu prior to it being supported by Wubi.
Update:
The original post had this line: "This technique will also likely work with other unsupported flavours e.g. ubuntu-studio". It does with one caveat. Ubuntu Studio doesnt include the package required by grub to generate the menu entries that can boot a loop mounted install (lupin-support). So it will install, but you have to manually boot it the first time from the grub prompt and then install lupin-support.
Heres how to manually boot any Wubi install:
search -s -f -n /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
probe --set=diskuuid -u $root
loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
set root=(loop0)
linux /vmlinuz root=UUID=$diskuuid loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img

Trouble installing Adobe Flash Player on Firefox in Windows
Trouble installing Adobe Flash Player on Firefox in Windows
Installing or updating Adobe Flash Player using the links redirecting it to its official online page almost never works for me. Be it network connection or some other problem, it is very difficult to get this working. What I usually get is this or some other kind of error:
If you are one of me, dont worry, there is a solution to this; download the full offline installer!

Ubiquity and Installing Ubuntu and its official flavours
Ubiquity and Installing Ubuntu and its official flavours
Hi,
One of the things I really love about Linux (Ubuntu) Communities is that one Question or Problem could become a Community Debate/discussion where many get involved and start brainstorming, discussing, agree or disagree, share thoughts and ideas, etc. That is, for sure, one of the strong feature of Linux and Ubuntu specifically.
Having that said, today, a Hot Discussion has started over the Mailing List because of this Thread on Ubuntu Forums.
While there is NO DOUBT the User has done a serious mistake by NOT backing up his/her Important Date BEFORE installing Ubuntu, there is NO WAY to blame the system since each and every Operating System in the world will only accept commands from the user and if the user will assume that the system will actually think and read the users mind, this is the users fault. The whole thing could have been avoided by doing a simple backup, that is all :)
It did not stop right there, the discussion went to another direction or point which is:
See this Email.
If truth to be told, I am sick (having bad flu) and my concentration is not at its best, obviously. After sometime, I realized the issue reported on Ubuntu Forum has nothing to do with the Email in a way. Why?
Because the mistake that the user did was simply failing to READ carefully on this slide:
And, to anyone who can read, it can NOT be more clear and obvious as the warning is quite clear and readable.
While the Email is talking about this slide:
Now, if someone has failed to read what was written on the first slide, I could expect nothing but he/she will have hard time with the second slide (Partitioning Slide).
What I personally think is:
ANY User who is willing to install Ubuntu or any of its official flavours, he/she MUST be aware of:
1- Backing Up his/her important Data before even downloading the ISO
2- READ/WATCH a HOWTO Install the system so that he/she will understand what exactly to be done, specially, if he/she is a newcomer to Linux/Ubuntu.
HOW TO Solve this?
The solution is very, VERY easy and simple:
1- Mention this Note:
"Please, make sure to backup your files and important data before anything else. Do not assume that Ubuntu GNOME will do it for you automatically."
2- Create a YouTube Video and add the link as shown above.
BOTH the note and the video MUST be added to the Download Page either on the Website OR the Wiki Page.
That is all.
IMHO, there is absolutely NO NEED to do ANYTHING else extra. I dont see any thing wrong with Ubiquity.
Anything to be added will cost time and efforts. Time to discuss, time to start working and and etc. It might be trivial and so easy step to be done by an Ubuntu Developers but the time to do it + the time to discuss whether to do it or not + the time to discuss WHAT exactly to be done = WASTE OF TIME!
Instead, leaving a simple note "Backup your data before you download" and to go the extra miles, create a video that explains how to install Ubuntu with all the possible options and upload it to YouTube and JUST include the link on the Website and/or the Wiki Page ... all that, IMHO could save time and efforts and has another benefit:
Those who are so scared to install Linux will NO longer be scared whenever they will WATCH and SEE and LEARN how to install the system. Once they do, they will realize how easy it is and will fear no more :)
That is what I think :)
Thanks!
