Bug Description
I'd tried to install ubuntu with wubi r129 a few times, on the same machine, with 2 different results.
The first time, it almost finished: the ISO image had been downloaded and it was creating the hd images, but my laptop battery was almost empty, the install process looked stuck on the hd image creation step (the root.img (.dsk ?) file was only ~1MB and created 10 minutes before) and I did not have my charger, so I decided to stop this first installation.
After fixing my charger problem, I launch the installation again.
The installer complained that a previous installation was found, that it should uninstall it : I click uninstall.
I then defined my installation options, and launched the install process that ended very quickly with this error message "writelines() argument must be a sequence of strings".
Now, each time I try to run the installation process (even after rebooting Windows, we never know ;-), the same error occurs again and again :-(
Windows version: French XP Home SP3.
To install Ubuntu, I choose the FAT32 C:\ drive, increase the installation size to 20GB, change the language to English (instead of the default, French).
In attachment is the last wubi install log (I did not kept the first one :-(
Any idea what's going on ???
