Does anyone know why GUI updating has recently been "buggered" this way? I observed it too when customizing Live-CDs for the bounty question -- on both the ISOs and the host VM I was using to build them:
I don't know what packages i have installed that i no longer can get and install packages in terminal. e.g. when trying to install Prozgui, i got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

@EliahKagan I don't know in general, but it needs to be reported to the Ubuntu Builder folks -- their "customization" messes up lsb-release so that this error is triggered and sw-props-gtk and sw-center no longer work
I have this iso file ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso and then I downloaded the corresponding wubi installer for this version.

it isn't actually clear what he/she wants, "instead of making use of the iso file it ignores it and goes ahead with downloading another one", but in the first statement, he/she said that the iso and wubi has already been downloaded
@jokerdino Are you sure? I mean, it at least doesn't download a new ISO when it's run from a CD/DVD/USB/mounted-image that already has all the files, right? If you insert a CD and install with Wubi, it doesn't download another ISO of the same CD.
You must download the desktop CD version of the ISO and place it in the same directory as wubi.exe before running wubi.exe
Alternate/server ISOs are not supported

@EliahKagan I believe that is how Wubi does architecture detection - based on the host Windows platform. It doesn't do low-level CPU capability detection.
I'll test it right now, I created a mini-library of supported release ISOs for that "how many max CPUs supported" question ;)
Is this a simple 10.04 vs 10.04-POINT-FOUR problem? Publicly available wubi.exes are for the latter only, OP suggests he got the original LTS release ISO...

:5224606 i would never down vote you...except for special circumstances... I've never gotten myself to actually click the down vote button although I've been tempted to do so several times...:P
@msPeachy yea but during that whole "his brother smokes pot" thing or w/e he was just whiny and annoying. not unlike Charlie from the last 2 seasons of Party of five.
@EliahKagan OK, definitively answered. Point-versions and architecture of the ISO do not matter; but Wubi will say "downloading..." for a short but variable period of time (depending on computer "speed") while it pre-processes the downloaded ISO, which may be confusing.
Step 1) take CPU out of the mobo Step 2) prepare with lots of butter on a skillet @ medium to high heat Step 3) Salt for seasoning Now let this simmer on the skillet for about half an hour. Sit to cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
You can search the official repositories here for any software you're wondering about. (Or run apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME or search in Software Center or Synaptic.)
Danger!
Do not run this command to "test" it unless you are prepared for a crash and/or force-rebooting your system

@JorgeCastro OK, let me know the sort/URL you're using so I know the "other end" to start working from; also, do we enforce strict untagging for non-hardware questions unless mentioned that "oh but it worked in 11.10..."? And finally, do you have any tips for a faster workflow than dozens of tabs :)
OK, good -- how do you use /review to get to 12.04 though? I have the usual (close first answers low quality first questions late answers suggested edits) options...

@blong A smaller partition? Only the normal variation you see in spinning HDD transfers from outside to inside, depending on where this partition is positioned on the disk.
agree. the only times when i saw increased i/o was when the system needed to swap out memory. smaller partition sizes for the root fs didn't seem to cause troubles.
That's what I thought... but wanted to make sure. I'm about to dual-boot a dev machine & want to make sure I don't end up building or writing data slower
