Hey, thanks mate! I'll get right on that

[santana007]

Thanks to all that posted here. Got my system working again as per: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...69&postcount=5. Think I will repartition and make a permanent install of 10.10.

Yes, I think I read something similar in the WubiGuide

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Ho...ws%20entirely?

I will investigate further. Thanks for the info.

The one in the wubi guide worked on older versions of Ubuntu. Also LVPM hasn't been updated since 8.04. The script in that link is based on the wubi guide script but updated for grub2 and some other deprecated commands etc.

Thanks bcbc. The information in the links were a lot of help.

You root.disk is on /dev/sda3, so boot the live CD, go to a terminal (CTRL+ALT+t):

sudo mkdir /media/win
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/win
sudo mount -o loop /media/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt
sudo chmod +w /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg
gksu gedit /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Delete all lines up to but NOT INCLUDING the first line starting with "menuentry". Save exit, unmount and reboot.

sudo umount /mnt
sudo umount /media/win

Then Wubi should boot normally. There is now a permanent fix described here (that you can only do after you get wubi booting):

Thanks so much

Worked great, thanks guys. Been running wubi on my work laptop for years... so disappointed that Ubuntu seems to be headed down the wrong path... Here's to hoping the next LTS is better than 10.10 in a bunch of ways.
