Installing Ubuntu 9.10 with Wubi..

[.Kai]

Okay, I installed Ubuntu 9.04(the lastest beta before the RC release) then tried to uninstall(in windows) it got an error then I installed the old ubuntu then uninstalled it,then I deleted all the old folders to the 9.10 then when I tried to install it again on the RC1(I might've made some kind of mistake)
I get this error:

---------------------------
Ubuntu Installer
---------------------------
An error occurred:

Permission denied

For more information, please see the log file: c:\docume~1\kyo\locals~1\temp\wubi-9.04-rev122.log
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

any ideas on how to solve this? thanks

[.Kai]

Anyone?

[.Kai]

Bump again.. =/

Did you know Ubuntu 9.10 isn't out yet? 9.04 is releasing April 23

[.Kai]

It's just released. =D I'll downloaded that to see if I have any problems

[.Kai]

Okay, I still can't install it. -___-

Still need help here.... >_< I've been trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 for awhile [on CD] and still no luck

[zanos]

Hi. I had the same problem however I couldnt install at all. I had windows 7 (32bit) running and I was trying to install ubuntu 64bit. Then I tried ubuntu 32bit and now im writing you this reply under Linux. I hope that helps.Z

[_sleeper]

just a hint here. 9.10 is not released yet. it will be on october.
and another hint. it is preferable to put code tags between outputs, commands, etc. ;)


as for wubi, in the log file it keeps repeating that you do not have enough permissions. check your account settings and your permissions.

Yeah I like testing stuff. =o code box added I was in a hurry to do something else then.
and my I'm already a Computer administrator and it still wont allow me to install it and I don't know any other settings to change. so I still kinda need up.

Thanks for your reply so far!


@zanos I don't know how can I tell which -bit it is. =o

[.Kai]

Help please. :/

[buntunub]

Same problem here. I get a continuous stream of exception processing errors when trying to install Jaunty Kubuntu Wubi 32 bit and it will not install at all. I click through all those and then get the Wubi Installer, but after getting to the download section it finally pops another error, " An error occurred: IOError: <urlopen error (10060, 'Operation timed out')>"

[buntunub]

I finally found the wubi log and it dumped the following errors -

>_< Atleast I'm not the only one but yeah we still need help! XD

[buntunub]

There seems to be some major issues with all versions of Wubi right now. I guess this function was not properly beta/alpha tested and fixed prior to Jaunty launch. Pity, because this is one of the most important functions from a new users perspective and is what most windows users will try out first before making the big switch to Linux and it fails to work entirely -- sure to make a big impression in an incredibly negative way!

Anyway, this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1134709&highlight=wubi) is promising and the fix worked for me. Lots of hoops to jump through and a hack job and Wubi sort of works -- at least it now installs but Nvidia/xorg fails to work. This is on Kubuntu, which so far looks like a gigantic pile of dung for Jaunty. At least Ubuntu 9.04 is fantastic!

[antrunner85]

Hi everyone,

I had the same problem but I think I found a solution.
Installing Ubuntu 9.04 from CD did not work and prompted the same error. However downloading wubi and place it under the same folder with the iso image seemed to work. I am just about restarting my computer to confirm.

[minglis]

Hi, I had the same problem, and as suggested by antrunner85, I simply placed the iso in the same dir as the wubi.exe and it worked fine.

[sintroge]

yes i had the same problem. downloading an iso and putting it in the dir worked for me as well (be sure you run it in admin mode in windows). additionalyl i recall i had to disable internet to avoid wubi from checking md5 sums online (the daily builds go out of date quickly).

YES! That's it. Download the iso file and put it in the same folder as the wubi.exe application.

Thanks everyone.

BTW, my problem was that I forgot the password I gave for the installation. Ha! So wubi for some reason has troubles reinstalling without the iso right there. My error was this:


an error occurred

IOError: <urlopen error>

For more info, please see log file....


Thanks community,

it works! ... just kept the wubi installer and the iso in the same folder ... tried it on 10.01 lucid lynx (which is awesome btw)

I tried the suggestions several times. However, it fails trying to find the CD, the iso, etc. I deleted the user/temp/log file wubi creates. I started wubi again and it begins a download of an iso from the internet. I disabled the network and wubi fails. Nothing's perfect : ) I'll go with wubi downloading the iso. My fingers are crossed. For all you newbies Ubuntu is probably one of the best products you'll see. I began with slackware about 15 years ago. So I have a little linux experience.
