When will Wubi support 10.10?

[spectrevk]

I tried upgrading my netbook's 10.04 install (which I installed via Wubi) to 10.10, but when it restarted the whole install was boned and unusable (literally just a black screen). I had a feeling this might happen, so I went to re-install, but I noticed that Wubi will only install 10.04, and I want to try out the new Unity interface. Is Wubi LTS only, or are they just taking some extra time to release 10.10 support?

As for why I'm using Wubi, my netbook has no disc drive, and I don't have a spare USB drive around.

You have to download the 10.10 ISO and do the Wubi installation from your disc/usb. I have been letting some Wubi users I know use my disc. I don't know if the Wubi site will have 10.10 or not they may stay with the LTS.

Spectrevk,

There are a couple of workarounds for Wubi 10.10 at the top of this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 .

Perhaps they will be of help.

Hi Spectrevk

Use this link to get to the Maverick index page scroll to the bottom and select the Wubi exe and download it and you should be good to go.
