(jaunty beta)Wubi does not make sure that root.disk and swap.disk are not NTFS-compressed

[Alexandros]

If you install Ubuntu with Wubi on a partition where NTFS file compression is enabled, hence making root.disk and swap.disk NTFS-compressed, Wubi installs successfully, but the Ubuntu installer complains.

Steps to reproduce:
1)Make an NTFS partition and ensure that file compression is enabled (you can do this by double clicking Computer, right-clicking the partition, clicking properties, finding the "Compress files in the disk to save disk space" at the bottom of the dialog box that appeared and by clicking OK or Apply.
2)Install Ubuntu with Wubi in the newly created partition and reboot
3)Boot Ubuntu and wait until the installer complains.

This bug was produced on vista, but I think it should be reproducible on NTFS compressed partitions under XP.

I also forgot to mention that Wubi 8.10 ensures that root.disk and swap.disk are not NTFS-compressed

Should be fixed in rev 123, please build and test

[Agostino Russo (ago)]

please use r124

Ago neither 122 nor 124 has worked I'll attach the logs if I can get them.

[Agostino Russo (ago)]

Will do setting up a new main pc today. Although I may have time latter if that is any use

I compiled r126 today. It took forever to install the windows section and still failed on partitioning. I'll upload the logs tomorrow when I have some more time.

Wubi-r128.exe

Seems to of fixed this.

Currently copying files.

Will add to it if succeeds.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]
