2008-06-25 23:52:16 Agostino Russo description Because of bug #207137 Wubi now copies the CD content as opposed to extract an ISO. This is implemented via #230716 which allows casper to boot off a directory. That directory is bindmounted to /cdrom. But the bindmount does create problems later on in Ubiquity, more exactly in ubiquity/install.py > install_extras. When installing Wubi from an ISO (no bindmount) or when setting up /cdrom via a symlink in casper, the installation proceeds correctly. Because of bug #207137 Wubi now copies the CD content as opposed to extract an ISO. This was implemented via bug #230716 which allows casper to boot off a directory. That directory is bindmounted to /cdrom in the initrd. But that introduced a regression because the bindmount makes ubiquity/install.py > install_extras fail (that is at the end of Ubiquity installation). When installing Wubi from an ISO (no bindmount) or when setting up /cdrom via a symlink in casper, the installation proceeds correctly.

2009-03-13 11:49:03 Agostino Russo wubi: statusexplanation We reverted to ISO extraction since this bug was blocking, I am lowering the priority of this bug, also because the new python code might (although unlikely) address #207137.
