So then can't you just use Wubi, although I still don't understand the difference from dual booting from the CD or using Wubi.

Are you trying to wipe the computer and install Ubuntu over the whole hard drive, or dual boot?

Are you looking to create a true dual boot, or just to try Ubuntu out and maybe keep it for a while?

When you first boot the computer it should give you an option to hit a f series key, but this option will only last for a few seconds. Once there either change the boot order in the BIOS settings, or...

If I understand correctly, you used the Wubi installer? If so you had to have installed Windows 8 on your computer after you got it. If Windows 8 came pre-installed then I don't think that you can...

I am also dual booting off of a netbook and used the Wubi installer with no issues whatsoever.

Another thing, if it won't even boot to the BIOS, have you tried unplugging the desktop from the power supply? :confused:

My computer had Windows 7 on it, but I upgraded to Windows 8 and used Wubi to dual-boot with Windows and Ubuntu. I had no errors or problems, but again I don't know if there is a difference between...

Yeah, you are going to have to install a screensaver through terminal or you might be able to find one in the Software Center. As for the locking, you can just go into system settings, then...

Yes, the computer had Windows 7 to begin with but was upgraded to Windows 8, then dual-booted with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I had 12.10 on my Core i3 processor and 4gb of ram laptop and was also experiencing sluggish response. I switched over to 12.04LTS and most of the sluggish movements went away, but I also have a...

I also have Windows 8 and wanted a Ubuntu partition. I installed the 64 bit operating system using Wubi that can be downloaded off of Ubuntu's website. I have not had any conflicting problems using...

I had this same problem with Ubuntu 12.10, and could not login. I ended up going through guest, and resetting my password. Once I logged in, I went into terminal and changed my password. I have not...

I have been using 12.10 for a few days and like it. The only problem I seem to be having is that my password was somehow changed, but I just changed it through terminal to fix the problem.
