Thread: Wubi installer not running

-

i relatively new linux, last few weeks have been working on getting myself used ubuntu (lucid). used wubi set under xp, , on computer worked absolutely perfectly. i'm discovering things faster in ubuntu in xp, feel it's time working on laptop.

however, it's not being easy first computer set on. first attempt download wubi, expectation download ubuntu did on first computer set up. not be. instead, when try run wubi exe in xp, wubi process loads second or 2 before ending without doing visible.

searching through forums, have seen 1 or 2 others have run same issue, of people saw got ubuntu operational set real partition, i'd avoid now.

second attempt @ putting ubuntu on laptop through past wubi releases, see if run. going backwards chronologically, first seemed work release of 8.04. idea once in upgrade, ran install. (wubi) install unable complete, best assumption ran issues firewall. thought, then, "this good, i'll make 8.04 live cd , install that."

worked, sort of. problem took 20 minutes load ubuntu, believe being held while setting swapping. figured i'd deal once updated, , began trying set proper updates, find though connection seemed work out of box, slower should have been. downloading things @ lightning-fast speed of 400 b/s, estamated download time of 4 days before had enough packages update.

so, upshot is, know if there's fix initial wubi not doing issue? next thing plan attempt try , update 8.04 lucid off of live cd, curious first issue. also, if has ideas why accessing internet ubuntu 10.04 , lubuntu 10 live disks normal, while install of 8.04 slow, i'd interested. (before asks, yes sticks around after restarting, tested 20 minutes took each time.)

in case help, of computer information follows:
thinkpad t42 laptop
windows xp professional, version 2002 service pack 3

network adapter "dual-band wi-fi wireless mini pci adapter", atheros

(i can post more info if it'll help.)

apologize longevity of post, , roundabout ways i've tried deal problem.
