mindtricks: hello. i'm sorry i thought i answered this yesterday, only just realized my answer didnt get posted. well in linux forums we don't have silly or bad questions.......... u can ask anything. pls. anyway, if u can't partition your only option is to use Virtualization. install virtualbox from www.virtualbox.org u can then use that to install ubuntu in a way thats perfectly harmless. i hope your PC has at least 4Gb of RAM by the way...... how to install, well try google. most links are at least 2 years old, but i don't think anything in the directions has changed much u can view or download this youtube link www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkJmahizwO4 you can also read this wikihow article for pointers. http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu-on-VirtualBox have fun. if u have issues, do let us know 2 Likes |

4llerbuntu: Many thanks for your timely response. Talking about virtualbox itself, please, i hope it will not cause windows any issues. Just being careful, especially not to tamper with the recovery partition. Please clarify. Thanks! |

mindtricks: its just an application. it has nothing to do with your recovery partition 2 Likes |

Hi everyone. I just happened upon this new(?) program called nim; it has something to do with Nimrud (Nimrod?), a black king, who was trying to rule the entire world of his day. Has anyone tried it? I'm not saying that you should, but I know how much everyone likes open source. Here it is to look at, at least. What do you think of it? http://nim-lang.org/ http://nim-lang.org/download.html |

Errr.....you cant really add the wireless adapter on the Host computer to the Vm per se. In this situation, you basically have 2 options. 1) You can use the virtual network manager to wire the VM to the host either inn the NAT or Direct to Physical network configurations. What this does is to either share the same IP as the host machine (NAT) or to get another IP from the physical network (direct connection via host wireless adapter) 2) Buy an external wireless card for independent connection of the VM. E.G. with a USB external wireless card, you can just select the option to connect the USB card directly to the VM, install drivers (if necessary) and have direct connectivity to the physical wireless network. Option is usually simple and fast. Option 2 is usually if you have more specific / advanced needs to connect to the wireless network. Cheers. ptoall1000: |

Hi guys. I heard that installing ubuntu via wubi leads to slight performance issues like slower disk performance and no hibernation (which i don't find really important). What if one creates a separate partition on windows and install ubuntu via wubi into that partition, any difference? 1 Like 1 Share |
| Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 2:16pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
basille: Actually no. But what version of Ubuntu are you trying to install with Wubi? If I recall correctly It has been removed from the install CD for a while now and u have to download it separately. I also believe it does not play well with Windows 8 and u need an old school bios bootloader. Which means u need to have an older computer, running Windows 7 or lower to use Wubi successfully |
| Re: Ubuntu Linux by basille(m): 4:31pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
4llerbuntu:Version 14.04. Wubi came with the iso. Yes, i found out about Uefi bootloader the hard way. |
| Re: Ubuntu Linux by ciphoenix: 2:34am On Jul 20, 2015 |
basille: wubi won't work with windows 8, no matter how you choose to partition it. if you can partition, i don't see why you sould be using wubi anyway. install it directly. |

You know I'm starting to be of the view that FOR NEWBIES if you have a PC with 8gb of Ram or more the best route to go is to virtualize either OS. Personally I'd install Ubuntu alone on the drive and install Windows in a VM. With seamless mode you wouldn't know the difference in a normal windows install. Or even in a Windows PC with a decent video memory and Ram, just install Ubuntu in a VM. Install all the addons and whatnot, then attach the network adapter, cards and USB ports directly to the VM. |

Meanwhile anecdotally, I have a really Old PC (Intel core2duo with 4gb DDR2 ram) I plunked under my TV at home and use for a HTPC. KODIBUNTU An external drive is attached to it to store my videos. After a while I decided to install full OS on it anyway(to download vids directly to the drive using tweaks) I partitioned and installed windows 7 2 months later when I put on the PC and boot windows I can audibly hear the hard drive cranking and spinning. Random freezes and whatnot When I boot into Ubuntu 14.04.( I installed unity desktop) the PC is super silent, even the fan rarely spins hard. And works smoothly. And this is even with Unity desktop. Could have gone with Lubuntu or Xubuntu. I think I should just install Windows XP or Windows 7 lite in a VM in Ubuntu and call it a day. If I continue booting windows I'm pretty sure either the drive or something else on that PC will give up the ghost soon. Look sometimes this Linux thing is not mere hype.

4llerbuntu: A question. Using YUMI, I installed Kali, pmagic, Android, Tails, ubuntu, xp, Windows 7 and 8.1 into a micro SD. Can run the XP as a LIVECD on any system. How can I install programs into LIVECD XP or ubuntu temporarily that would uninstall when I terminate the session? |
| Re: Ubuntu Linux by 4llerbuntu(m): 2:12pm On Jul 21, 2015 |
Leopantro: I don't know about xp. Didn't even know u could run XP as a live cd. No small feat that...... . But if u didn't enable persistent storage partition for the USB stick then all your work will not be stored from any session. Did u notice any such leftovers? |
| Re: Ubuntu Linux by Leopantro: 10:59pm On Jul 21, 2015 |
4llerbuntu: Came across a site that utilized Winbulder to create an xp LIVECD, came with 55 inbuilt programs. He said installation of programs would be into the flash drive but will require a vdl file. Still trying to make it work. Why am I doing this? No matter what windows 8 and 8.1 days about backwards compatibility, there are some applications that wouldn't work. Thought of it when you wrote about the old PC that runs KODIUBUNTU. will add the YouTube video. |
