12 04 1 wubi exe released Wrong version error

12 04 1 wubi exe released Wrong version error


With the 12.04.1 release, Wubi.exe was also bumped to 12.04.1. For those that dont know, Wubi.exe is very particular about which version it will install: it first checks the ISO and rejects it if it doesnt match.

DEBUG Distro: wrong version: 12.04 != 12.04.1
So, why is this a problem? Simply that not all flavours of Ubuntu e.g. Lubuntu/Xubuntu/Mythbuntu get a 12.04.1 ISO released. And Wubi.exe is clever enough to know that - it still has the address for the 12.04 ISOs for these flavours and will happily download the entire thing... and then stupidly reject it.

So that all seems rather pointless and frustrating to the users. Especially since the same thing happened with 10.04.1 - someone mightve figured out the pattern by now. But in their defence, its taken me 10 minutes to write up this post, so you can see why itd be so difficult to fix.

Actually a look at the code indicates that Wubi.exe for 12.04 will happily install a 12.04.1 ISO, just not the other way round. So if they had just left it at 12.04 and updated the link to the 12.04.1 ISOs then... no breakage.

Workaround
An easy workaround is to use the 12.04 Wubi.exe for your favourite flavour (anything other than Ubuntu... except Kubuntu which has been broken for Wubi installs since 12.04 was released). So you can install Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Mythbuntu, Edubuntu in this manner. Here is a link to it: http://people.canonical.com/~evand/wubi/precise/wubi-r266-signed.exe

Update
Probably to repay me for doing just 10 minutes of research, Ive found out that Xubuntu, Mythbuntu, Edubuntu and Kubuntu all have a 12.04.1 release. So in fact, its Wubi 12.04.1 that is at fault here for not updating the metalinks. Its only Lubuntu thats stuck on 12.04. Either way, none of these work without some manual workaround.

Workaround part 2
If you want Kubuntu, Mythbuntu, Edubuntu or Xubuntu, download the ISO first, save it in the same folder as the 12.04.1 Wubi.exe and run wubi from there (disconnect from the Internet prior to running).

2 7 stable 9 vs TProxy on Ubnt Quote: idealnya proxy itu emang harus transparent. namun untuk squid2.7stable9 belum bener2 transparent. lah maksudnya transparent gimana? gini lho.. ketika client di bawah proxy request http yang masuk ke proxy kan ip client. trus yang keluar malah ip proxy. emang namanya transparent. cuman blom transparent menurut ane. kalo kita bikin proxy model gini dan mau limit traffic ya susah.. karena yang keluar dari proxy adalah ip proxy. bukan ip client. lah trus setelah pake TProxy hasilnya gimana? diharapkan setelah pake TProxy ip yang keluar dari proxy bener2 pure ip client. bukan proxy. jadi lebih mudah untuk management bandwidth. udah ngerti kan? (mudah2an blom) POC tweak dulo systemnya supaya traffic bisa lebih optimal Code: echo "*             soft    nofile          65535" >> /etc/security/limits.conf echo "* ...
