Failure running wubi-move-2.2 on an Ubuntu 10.04

[Jonathan Lennox]

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 Wubi installation which I am trying to migrate onto a native partition.

Unfortunately, the script fails when trying to uninstall the lupin-support package, as follows:

wubi-move-2.2.sh: Starting chroot to the target install.
wubi-move-2.2.sh: Removing lupin-support on target...
wubi-move-2.2.sh: An error occurred within chroot
wubi-move-2.2.sh: Error is: /dev/loop0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
wubi-move-2.2.sh: Attempting to exit chroot normally...
wubi-move-2.2.sh: Exiting from chroot on target install...

wubi-move-2.2.sh: Migration did not complete successfully.

This is on an x86_64 platform (a Dell Optiplex desktop machine). The machine was originally Ubuntu 9.10 (I believe), and was upgraded at some point to 10.04 inside the Wubi install.

Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong? Is there any good way to fix it? I don't mind restarting the wubi-move from scratch if necessary (and redoing the rsync step), though I'd obviously rather not.

My suspicion would be that the problem has something to do with grub2 vs. grub-legacy, but I could be wrong, and I can't figure out what the correct fix would be.

Thanks for any help!


Here is the full output of the wubi-move script:

This could be the result of changes to grub. All Wubi installs have /dev/loop0 as the target drive (to prevent updates to the disk MBR that prevent booting, so it's strange it would complain about that).

I'll have to run some tests to confirm what the problem is. I'll let you know what I find...

[bcbc]

I've duplicated the problem and found the bug in the wubi-move script. It affects wubi installs with grub-legacy only (i.e. original install prior to release 9.10).

I'm patching it and testing it now.

[bcbc]

Okay... fixed, tested... and attached.

Download and extract wubi-move-2.2.sh and replace the version you have.

Then rerun it with the --resume option. It will pick up from where it left off so all that remains to be done is replace grub-legacy with grub2 on the migrated install and install the bootloader. I reran mine with --resume and confirmed everything was good.

So for your example you would submit:

sudo bash wubi-move-2.2.sh /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 --resume

[Jonathan Lennox]

Thanks! I won't be able to test it until Monday (server is at my office), but I'll try it out it then.

It does indeed seem possible that the Wubi installation was originally 9.04.

Would an alternate solution be to upgrade my Wubi installation to use grub2, if that's possible? I noticed that another consequence of having grub-legacy installed in Wubi was that the native partition was formatted as ext3, even though my Wubi is using ext4 natively. (Obviously changing the partition format would mean that I'd need to re-run the rsync.)

[bcbc]

I've never attempted to manually convert a wubi install from grub legacy to grub2. I'm not sure what the benefit of this would be. It's obviously worked pretty well if you've had it since release 9.04.

It's far better to switch to a normal dual boot as you are doing.

Regarding the ext3/4, the migration script will migrate to an ext3 partition by default if the source is Wubi with grub-legacy. I believed that this would be the preferred choice. There's no reason it couldn't migrate to an ext4 partition if that's your preference. But there is no 'automatic' option built into the script for this. You could just edit it yourself (line 550):

# grub legacy wubi is always ext3
if [ "$wubi_install" = "true" ]; then
fs=ext3
fi

Change to:

# grub legacy wubi is always ext3
if [ "$wubi_install" = "true" ]; then
fs=ext4
fi


Yes, you are correct... if you choose to do this you'll have to start the migration from scratch (don't use the --resume option). This means you'll have to manually clear the target partition (the script requires an empty partition for safety). The safest way to achieve this is to format it using GParted.

[Jonathan Lennox]

Thanks -- that worked great! I now have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on a native partition.

The system seems much snappier now. I hadn't realized how much performance overhead there was in going through Wubi's NTFS layer.

[bcbc]

Glad to hear. You're welcome.

Hi, I got the same issue as Johnathan Lennox above.
However upon resuming, I got this:

[bcbc]

Darrel,

The --resume option is pretty fussy and here's the reason why:
1. It bypasses the normal checks to ensure the partition is empty
2. It will modify existing files to what you are migrating (removing anything else)

While technically I could have ignored the swap partition since there's no data risk, I didn't. So in your case it's found that the UUID of the swap partition has been modified since you first ran the migration and won't continue. Did you modify this?


So... being hard-nosed about the check seemed like a good idea at the time. But it leaves you with having to reformat your target partition and start all over again which is a bit of a pain. If you are sure you know what you are doing you can edit the file: ~/.wubi-move
Change the second string to the UUID of the swap partition.

Awesome! it worked great. Now that it is on it's own partition do i need to make that drive my booting drive with fdisk? Or do i just boot into my windows installation and uninstall my wubi, and then load up? or?

sorry for the lack of experience.

It depends. If you let the script install the Grub2 bootloader (default), then you're good to uninstall the Wubi. There's no need to change the boot partition flag (it has no affect on Grub and it will cause you problems if you try to reinstall the windows bootloader later).

But if you ran the script with the --no-bootloader option then you can only boot the migrated install via the Wubi grub, so don't uninstall Wubi until you've installed grub.

If you aren't sure, run the bootinfoscript (http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/) and post the result.

[darrel12]

I can't access my Windows installation now that I've restarted. The grub only shows linux, previous versions of linux (because i have different kernels from an earlier issue with my wireless card, and grub customizer didn't delete them i suppose), and my recovery partition for windows.

I also notced in GParted that the key icon is no longer on my ntfs partition, but rather my ext3 and swap.

I can't access my Windows installation now that I've restarted. The grub only shows linux, previous versions of linux (because i have different kernels from an earlier issue with my wireless card, and grub customizer didn't delete them i suppose), and my recovery partition for windows.

I also notced in GParted that the key icon is no longer on my ntfs partition, but rather my ext3 and swap.



The key icon just shows which partition is in use. I'm not sure why grub can't find your Windows on /dev/sda2. It should. Try running:

sudo update-grub

PS in answer to your original questions, yes (once you get Windows into Grub and booting), you can uninstall the Wubi install.

Thank you very much.
Everything is working flawlessly now.
