After 50+ users/students had Wubi problems, which btw I changed the acronym to "Windows Ubuntur Bull*** Installer", thank the digital god that they removed that
@JourneymanGeek it depends. Maybe you have Ubuntu installation experience, but to the people I teach. OMG. I have got issues starting from "How did I delete Windows with Wubi" to "So there is no partition on the hard drive now.. what should I do professor?.. Professor?... hey where you running too!!"
I also like how they have handled the whole "many windows opened from the same app" issues
The reason why this feature is not available is because of a productive (and actually not counter-productive) reason. Please give me a second to explain so you can also understand. Follow me on this one for the reasons behind this:
Imagine you need to open not 2 Firefox Windows, or 4, but 10 or ...
@LuisAlvarado: If I was teaching students, I'd use a VM, or a seperate hard drive. On the other hand, the idea that I could back up a disk image easily helped me get the confidence to try a new OS
BTW guys, am looking for 1 or 2 Ubuntu users that might be interested in participating in an international event called FLISOL, which is celebrated in Latin America. It is based on installing and teaching Open source software to new users.
I do that right now, using a obsolete, but 'new' 40gb sata drive for my kubuntu install. I've also run full installs and/or unetbootin + persistance on USB keys
@EliahKagan thanks, i've downloaded them raw, hopefully you don't mind if I use some of them to change what we've got in the git? (I've already suggested your abandonment one, and it seemed to have been approved :) )
I have two identical beaglebones that I'm working with. They have the same hostname and originally had the same IP, though I changed one to see if that made a difference. They're going to be deployed to 2 different networks.
My problem is I lost the ability to ssh into both of them. The passwor...
Wubi's been dropped from 13.04. They no longer test it, and they no longer support wubi in 13.04. There was a developers mailing list post about proposing to drop Wubi, and they removed the Wubi builds for everything but 12.04.
Therefore, there are no Wubi builds for anything but 12.04. Shoul...

There's an old C snippet to do it(round trip), but it's sort of clunky. Reworking it as a C++ class where you just populate the right source struct and call convert(). Then grab the struct member you want.
on the install option thing, maybe a side-by-side only install with a migration tool, and an expand to fill tool that is only accessible after you opt in or out of migration
