-- Posted by jamescoleman at 2:57 pm on April 16, 2008 anyone have trouble with the profile import for install side of ubuntu? i tried to find the older version of wubi but i couldn't find anything. i don't have a profile to import and it wont let me finish install. -- Posted by climber783 at 3:07 pm on April 16, 2008 Is there a way to simply skip the profile import?   -- Posted by jamescoleman at 9:33 pm on April 16, 2008 i can cancel the install but the point is that the system to be installed -- Posted by climber783 at 10:22 pm on April 16, 2008 The profile import shouldn't be required.  I've installed Ubuntu or various builds off of it half a dozen times, and I've never been required to import a profile. Using the Wubi installer can bring some problems.  Using the traditional installer is honestly not all that complicated, you could try it that way, rather than fighting just to get an installer working. Have you tried the Ubuntu forums?  They have a lot more support for Linux related problems.  In fact, they have an entire thread dedicated to a wide host of Wubi problems.  Here's their website.  www.ubuntuforums.org. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 9:02 am on April 17, 2008 I've installed ubuntu number of times along with suse, and fedora core through the regular install but I'm in vista and the news is that vista doesn't really work well when trying to dual boot linux and vista. I've also checked out the ubuntu and wubi forums and haven't found anything useful. I don't really have money for an external hdd now. What distro do you use? -- Posted by climber783 at 10:11 am on April 17, 2008 I've got Ubuntu and Vista dual-booted, with no problems during install or otherwise.  The only thing you might want to do is to change the windows partition within Vista rather than using the gParted partition tool in the Ubuntu installer.  But I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 with Vista, as well as LinuxMint 4.0 (basically Ubuntu with extra video/sound/wireless support), and haven't had any problems with the dual boot. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 4:06 am on April 18, 2008 cool... I'll have to check out linuxmint.
