My previous post was after "Restarting" the computer from Windows 8 and booting into Wubi. The next test was to "Shut down" from Windows 8 and boot Wubi. That also worked, but I've observed a different behaviour when booting Wubi from Windows 8 manager as compared to Win 7 and that is: 1. Computer starts, BIOS screen 2. Windows boot manager, select Ubuntu(Wubi) 3. Computer restarts, BIOS reappears, boots directly into Ubuntu(Wubi)
So it appears that Windows is taking care of the 'fast-start' hibernated image from the Windows Boot Manager when required. (Of course when it's really hibernated it just boots straight into Windows) It's different when I shut down Windows 8 and then boot the non-Wubi install (12.04.1). Then when I try to mount the windows partition I get: bcbc@neptune:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not permitted bcbc@neptune:~$ sudo mount -r /dev/sda1 /mnt bcbc@neptune:~$ head -c 8 /mnt/hiberfil.sys | od -t x1 0000000 48 49 42 52 09 00 00 00 0000010 bcbc@neptune:~$ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043149 Title: [regression since 12.04] ntfs-3g refuses to mount Windows8 not using hibernation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1043149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
