Wubi for Ubuntu 14 10 doesnt work
Wubi for Ubuntu 14 10 doesnt work
Good news and bad news
Wubi for 14.10 now recognizes and prevents installing on computers with EFI firmware. This saves those users from going through the entire installation and ending up with an obscure
wubildr.mbr error. Thats good and its my patch that has finally been promoted after a 1.5 year delay (for unknown reasons).The bad news is that Wubi no longer works for computers with BIOS firmware either, but youll have to go through the entire installation to find out. This seems to be due to a
libparted issue in the latest version of ubiquity (Ubuntus main installer).So, as per my previous advice... avoid Wubi. But if you must use it, dont use 14.10s Wubi and instead see my previous post on how to install 14.04.1 Wubi.
