Question #78128 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78128
Tom proposed the following answer: It would probably be better to upgrade to a stable install of Ubuntu first. The Wubi is designed as a demo version of Ubuntu and really isn't made for long-term use. So either use part 8 of section 8 in this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide Alternatively just install Edubuntu properly by putting it's cd in the cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine, this should get you to a menu that has a default option "Try Ubuntu without changes to this machine", if you don't get to that then this guide might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD Using the "Try Ubuntu ... " should get you to a working desktop that we call a "LiveCd session", if it works. It's a good way of testing the version you have to make sure it works well on your machine. Most versions of linux have this functionality. *buntus usually find your internet connection straight-away allowing you to surf into here or elsewhere via firefox. If you find you're happy with it then installing like this would give you a proper linux system and provide a much more robust dual-boot system that works well with Windows https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot I have to say that i think the first option probably has the most merit now that i've looked at Edubuntu a bit but it might be good to try the LiveCd of Edubuntu first just to see how different it is. Anyway, good luck and regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
