| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 20:14 |
| genii-around | I'd like to change it to this: | 20:14 |
| genii-around | Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information. File wubi bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug | 20:14 |
| genii-around | Any comments, suggestions, criticisms? | 20:15 |
| genii-around | I'll change it in 7-10 minutes if no one has any objections or modifications to make before then :) | 20:18 |
| DJones | Possibly specify Ubuntu 12.04 rather than just Ubuntu (based on this line on the wubiguide -> With Wubi, our officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows, you can install and uninstall Ubuntu easily and safely. For 12.04 LTS only.) | 20:18 |
| genii-around | So then perhaps: Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information. File wubi bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug | 20:28 |
| DJones | Looks good to me | 20:29 |
| genii-around | Although 12.10 and 13.04 also have wubi.exe at their respective http://releases.ubuntu.com/ pages but i suppose we don't need to advertise that | 20:29 |
| LjL | or are Windows 8 Certified UEFI computers incompatible with Wubi? | 20:30 |
| DJones | Wasn't wubi announced as having been officially dropped for 13.04 | 20:30 |
| bazhang | yet it's on the dvd | 20:31 |
| genii-around | DJones: I asked in #ubuntu-devel, they said it's still planned to be included | 20:32 |
| DJones | At times, I don't think the left hand knows what the right hand is doing in the Ubuntu world | 20:32 |
| genii-around | ( although I had heard the same about it being dropped ) | 20:32 |
| DJones | I'd seen a few reports of its demise, followed by others suggesting it would be back, stronger and better for 13.10/14.04 | 20:33 |
| genii-around | LjL: Yes, they are incompatible. It's recommended to install the regular way for those, off the DVD | 20:35 |
| genii-around | Changed. | 20:36 |
| DJones | This what set off the Wubi RIP celebrations https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-April/036993.html | 20:38 |
| genii-around | Oddly, it was he who told me in -devel the opposite | 20:40 |
| genii-around | <slangasek> genii-around: it was released with 13.04, but has been de-emphasized on the website due to the lack of support for Windows 8 / SecureBoot me: OK, thanks. Will it be in Saucy ? <slangasek> genii-around: I expect it will be; there seem to be developers committed to keeping it in working order | 20:41 |
| DJones | I think that was the problem, nobody was supporting it up to 13.04, I guess the threat of dropping it has prompted people to come forward | 20:44 |
| bazhang | troll detected | 20:58 |
| genii-around | bazhang: Reminds me of the one in -irc a while back saying they love everyone, calling Pici maam, etc | 20:58 |
| bazhang | genii-around, hehe yeah | 20:59 |
| bazhang | although I remember it as "is Pic i a bot?" | 20:59 |
