[Bug 762833] Re: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
The webpage does actually say that it's the latest version of Ubuntu: Click the big orange button to download the latest version of Ubuntu. This Windows installer (Wubi) will help you to run Ubuntu within your current system. So the change to point at lucid from maverick doesn't appear to be correct either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762833 Title: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get- ubuntu/windows-installer -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Let's separate this into two pieces: 1) The website directs you to lucid wubi.exe, saying that that's the most recent version of Ubuntu. 2) The lucid wubi.exe is from 10.04.1 and therefore now broken. The second of those is bug 722955, and should be handled there (I will do so). However, the first bug remains, and can only be solved by the www.ubuntu.com maintainers (who don't include me). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762833 Title: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get- ubuntu/windows-installer -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 762833] Re: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
I have now fixed bug 722955. As mentioned in comment 10, this still leaves the perplexing question of why the website is claiming that 10.04 is the most recent version of Ubuntu, especially in something aimed at Windows users. Furthermore, I find it a bit surprising that the web team didn't come and ask the cdimage/release team about the fact that the number one link offered for our flagship product no longer worked after a change they made, and that I had to find out about this by happening to read a comment on IRC in my free time. They at least should have known who could deal with it! ** Summary changed: - Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer + http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer offers lucid wubi.exe and claims it's the most recent version -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762833 Title: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer offers lucid wubi.exe and claims it's the most recent version -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't know if the version has been updated. I got it from another
source as suggested. That worked fine, so close it as far as I'm
concerned.

Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-
ubuntu/windows-installer
Status in Ubuntu Website Content:
Confirmed
Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer:
Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I am new to ubuntu and thought I'd try it out. I am installing it
alongside windows xp media centre edition 32 bit on an acer aspire
laptop using the download here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
When I download and run the install, the installation fails just as it
gets to completion. The error says to check a log file in the local
settings folder. This log file finishes with the lines shown below.
I think the installation should be able to find everything from the
web download and install. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Charlie

Re: [Bug 762833] Re: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
No. It needs to be fixed. The wrong version of wubi.exe (10.04.1) is on http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ and the same version is now on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer and this one is the one most people download. The main one ( http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer ) was set at Maverick Meerkat 10.10 up until late last week. This was changed without notice (and nowhere on the page does it state the release that will be downloaded.) Since that time, everyone running it will find it downloads the 10.04.2 Desktop ISO (700MB download) and then rejects it with: 10.04.2 != 10.04.1 We've been seeing a number of these on ubuntuforums.org already. It is quite urgent (and a simple fix) to: 1) replace it with a working version for either 10.04.2 or 10.10 2) state on the page which release it is so users know what they are installing On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 8:07 AM, Ellen Arnold 762...@bugs.launchpad.netwrote: Is it okay to close this bug now? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762833 Title: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get- ubuntu/windows-installer -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

FYI for users running into this problem: The wubi.exe for 10.10 Maverick Meerkat can be obtained at http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe The wubi.exe for 10.04 Lucid Lynx can only be obtained at http://people.canonical.com/~evand/wubi/lucid/wubi-r191.exe You can also get wubi.exe by downloading the desktop CD ISO and burning it to CD - in this case the wubi.exe always matches the release you downloaded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762833 Title: Incorrect version of wubi.exe on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get- ubuntu/windows-installer -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
