View Full Version : [wubi] Wubi installation "no root file system is defined"

I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop and it works fine running from USB but during the install from WUBI I get the error "no root file system is defined". I have followed several other threads where they got the same error but my results do not appear to be the same as theirs in the analyzer script. Can someone help me figure this out?

Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

Which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install via Wubi?

If 11.04, please run the script again, but this time use the new script for 11.04 (rest of the instructions remain the same):

Boot the Ubuntu Live CD/USB. Choose the option "Try Ubuntu without any changes." Once the desktop loads come back here and do the following:

1. Download the boot info script. There is a link to download the script after the instructions.
2. Once downloaded, move the boot info script to the desktop.
3. Open a terminal and run the command

sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh

This will create a RESULTS.txt file on the desktop. Paste the entire contents of that file back here in a new post. Once pasted highlight all text and click the # sign on the toolbar to place code tags around the text.

new script for 11.04

wget -O boot_info_script.sh 'http://bootinfoscript.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bootinfoscript/bootinfoscript;a=blob_plain;f=boot_info_script.sh; hb=HEAD'

Next, is this a RAID or an LVM setup you have there?

I know that Wubi installs to RAID are not supported, though theoretically possible. I am not sure about LVM though.

Regardless, please post the new script results so we can take a look and try and help you sort this out.

Thanks.
