May the Ubuntu Be With You!
I just posted a step-by-step video tutorial of how to use Lubi (basically until the reboot point, after which everything is automatic) at blip.tv (5.7 MB, ogg theora format, but you can use the java-based player if on Windows/Mac), see http://blip.tv/file/331040/

Question...
if I install this to my partition hda2, will the rest of the partition be visible to the Lubi installed ubuntu install?
I keep media on hda2, and if I install it there, in a folder, will I be able to mount it to watch media contained on it via the lubi installed ubuntu?

The drive you installed to will be at /media/host and the other drives can be mounted manuallyif I install this to my partition hda2, will the rest of the partition be visible to the Lubi installed ubuntu install?

Just Give Me the Beans!
Can this work for any linux distro ?
what is the mandatory thing ?
only lupin module in the kernel ?

Lubi can run from basically any distro, but it can only install Ubuntu, due to some portability issues in the loopmounting code we developed (lupin) and its dependency on d-i. However, if you want something that can run off either Windows or Linux, and can install several distros without a CD (currently Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva, Debian, and Arch Linux, more coming soon), you might want to check out another tool I developed, UNetbootin, the site is at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html and I have a forum thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427540Originally Posted by mirak63

I have some problems installing Kubuntu in my debian system with lubi. When I reboot I have some errors about not finding the right file and some suggestions about checking find=
I have configured lubi with an image already downloaded (kubuntu-7.10-beta-desktop-i386) that lubi has copied to /wubi/install
Wubi is installed in /dev/hda1. Same problem if I try an install in /dev/sda1, the hard disk from where I am booting debian.
I have tried some changes to menu.lst of grub withuout success.
What can I do?

This is my system menu.lst:

Lubi won't work using the 7.10 desktop iso. Use the 7.04 alternate iso, or if you want to install Ubuntu 7.10, use UNetbootin http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html

I need the username and password for ubundu 7.04?
Can someone tell me the username and password for ubundu 7.04?
I downloaded it from http://wubi-installer.org/ , but it wants the login name and pass
thanks

The username and password should be whatever you provided during the initial installation prompt; there's no "master password" (for obvious security reasons). If you typed in what you originally entered, and it still spewed out an error, then that's a bug with Wubi (perhaps file a bug report, though given that the Wubi 7.04 branch isn't being maintained any longer since the focus is now on newer versions, I doubt it'll get fixed).Can someone tell me the username and password for ubundu 7.04?

Anyhow, why are you installing Ubuntu 7.04? 7.10 has been out for a while, and has several improvements (and bugfixes) over the 7.04 version, so I'd install that instead. The 7.10 version of Wubi is available at http://wubi.sourceforge.net/devel/minefield/ while the UNetbootin 7.04/7.10 versions are available at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html use whichever one works better for you; both can install Ubuntu without a CD, the difference being that UNetbootin provides more flexibility and does a proper Ubuntu install (like the standard CD), while Wubi is somewhat more user-friendly for novice users, though more problematic in the long run due to its usage of loopmounted partitions.
PS This is the Lubi thread, not the Wubi one. Ask questions about Wubi in the general Wubi forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 and UNetbootin questions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427540 to keep topics nicely seperated and organized.
