wubi and ubuntu studio

[jay halitzer]

I download the ubuntustudio from the link that was suggested and there was a wubi.exe windows installer included. But when i execute the file there is still only Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mythbuntu, Edubuntu and Lubuntu that are available in the list to install.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Note: Ubuntu studio also does not have the package lupin-support installed. This is required by Wubi in order to generate the grub menu entries to boot from a loop-mounted install.

The Ubuntu studio version that I'm attempting to install is the latest 12.10 and the current o/s I have is windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

Howard Chan, Just curious if you tested your change yet. I got Ubuntu Studio to run with Wubi, but there was an issue matching the .disk/info with the space in "Ubuntu Studio" and Wubi finding the image files (it used the same string to match). If you're interested here's my version (there are some other changes in there too): https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B7WusWpqHR-4Mk5oRUdVWjMtNHM/edit

God don't add Xubuntu.....They asked to delete it....

My changes aren't intended to be promoted. As such, it makes no difference whether I add Xubuntu or not.
I was trying to point out the issue with the space in the name, not suggesting you implement any of my changes.

Howard, I see you removed the space from Ubuntu Studio so it can find the image files, but that's also checked against the .disk/info file on the ISO and it has to match. It's "Ubuntu Studio" in the .disk/info.

In my own version of wubi.exe, having no control over the ISO, I modified Wubi to strip out spaces before checking (I used UbuntuStudio as the name when I did it) but in yours you used a hyphen (Ubuntu-studio).

My workaround was like this:
=== modified file 'src/wubi/backends/common/distro.py'
--- src/wubi/backends/common/distro.py 2012-04-24 15:57:38 +0000
+++ src/wubi/backends/common/distro.py 2012-11-02 09:04:33 +0000
@@ -163,10 +163,12 @@
             log.debug('could not get info %s' % info)
             return False
         name, version, subversion, arch = info # used in backend as well
- if self.name and name != self.name:
- log.debug('wrong name: %s != %s' % (name, self.name))
+
+ # strip out space from distro name - takes care of 'Ubuntu Studio'
+ if self.name and name.replace(' ','') != self.name:
+ log.debug('wrong name: %s != %s' % (name.replace(' ',''), self.name))
             return False

But that's not a great solution. The better solution would be to change the .disk/info file to match unless it's required.

[Howard Chan (smartboyhw)]

bcbc, here is the problem.
1. I saw in .disk/info in the 12.10 final release live DVD that it is Ubuntu-Studio. So I think it is a match.
2. Let me see how to change the info file. That in all is a better solution.

[bcbc (bcbc)]

Ah, you're right. I didn't check that - all I saw was the error log when I tested it that showed it as "Ubuntu Studio". So I took a look at the code, and this is the reason why (it replaces the '-' with ' ' in the name):

    def parse_isoinfo(self, info):
        '''
        Parses the file within the ISO
        that contains metadata on the iso
        e.g. .disk/info in Ubuntu

        Ubuntu Split Name 9.04.1 "Jaunty Jackalope" - Final Release i386 (20090106.2)
        '''
        log.debug(" parsing info from str=%s" % info)
        if not info:
            return
        info = disk_info_re.match(info)
        name = info.group('name').replace('-', ' ')
        version = info.group('version')
        subversion = info.group('subversion')
        arch = info.group('arch')
        log.debug(" parsed info=%s" % info.groupdict())
        return name, version, subversion, arch

[Howard Chan (smartboyhw)]

Hmm bcbc we should then change the code for that....... Can you try getting rid of the replace thing in info.group('name').replace('-', ' ') and see if it works?

[bcbc (bcbc)]

I was thinking that maybe the problem isn't replacing the '-' with spaces. This makes it more user friendly in the GUI as it shows "Ubuntu Studio" in the drop down box, not "Ubuntu-Studio". The problem is that it's not escaping the image file names properly. It shouldn't have an issue problem copying "Ubuntu Studio.ico". It does that in backends/win32/backend.py. Then you can use the more user friendly "Ubuntu Studio" and it will match the .disk/info.

Here is the error from my first version (that used "Ubuntu Studio"):
11-02 01:31 DEBUG WindowsBackend: Copying C:\Users\bcbc_~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pyl7B56.tmp\data\images\Ubuntu\ Studio.ico -> C:\ubuntu\Ubuntu\ Studio.ico

  File "\lib\shutil.py", line 38, in copyfile

[bcbc (bcbc)]

Actually that debug output doesn't look like an escaping error; it just says the .ico file is missing (not tripping up on the spaces). I'll try it again today and let you know what I find.

[Howard Chan (smartboyhw)]

bcbc, here's what I want you to try.

1. ONLY rename all Ubuntu-Studio.ico images to Ubuntu Studio.ico (likewise
for headers and vertical) and try to install.

2. Remove the replace space with hyphen code in the
/src/wubi/backend/common/distro.py and try to install.

Post back the results here.

That's the plan. By the way, do you have Windows on your computer? Or in a VM?

[bcbc (bcbc)]

The wubi build fails when the image files have a space in the name. I'm investigating...

[bcbc (bcbc)]

There's a problem in 7-zip. This is what it looks like when there is a space in data/images/Ubuntu Studio-vertical.bmp:

Howard, I think my environment is corrupted. I didn't have the same problem on my precise wubi.exe. So I'm going to delete and start over fresh.

[bcbc (bcbc)]

This works... but the icon switching doesn't work (it isn't loading the images with the space in the name):

bcbc, can you try to discuss it in LP Bug #1080090 please? That is a better side to discuss...

[jay halitzer (jayhalitzer)]

hi howard,
I wasn't sure if you guys fixed the wubi.exe to install ubuntu studio. I
downloaded it again but when I tried the wubi.exe it still doesn't list the
ubuntu studio to install. Is there another place do get the working one
that you guys workrd on?
