Wubi is a kind of installer of the Ubuntu Linux operating system, as well as Kubutnu and Xubuntu, designed to run in Windows. It can be used to install Ubuntu as a regular application. There is no need to repartition the hard disk — during the installation process on a normal Windows partition a new folder is created where all files are placed.
After installation, an additional entry will appear in the standard boot menu allowing you to choose whether to boot Windows or Ubuntu. With the help of Wubi, almost any Windows user can get a full operating system based on Linux and not be afraid to lose their data or do something wrong at all. Besides, Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as an ordinary Windows program.
Wubi simplifies the process of installing and uninstalling Ubuntu Linux on a Windows system.
A warning.
The Wubi program is essentially a web installer — it does NOT contain an operating system. After it is launched, Ubuntu will be automatically downloaded from the Internet (note — it is about 700 MB of Internet traffic) and installed. Besides, if you already have a disk with the Ubuntu operating system or its image, Wubi will be able to connect it and use it in its work — and, of course, you won’t have to download the OS from the network anymore.
Windows XP or newer
Minimum 5GB of free disk space
Stable internet connection for OS download
Administrator privileges to install
Easy to install and uninstall via Windows control panel.
No need for partitioning or dual-booting setup.
Great for Linux beginners to try Ubuntu.
Limited functionality compared to a full Ubuntu installation.
Slower system performance due to running within Windows.
Difficult to troubleshoot and fix issues.

Wubi is a Windows-based software that allows a user to have access to installing Ubuntu without partitioning the hard drive. This gives those new to Linux the opportunity to test-drive it via a stand-alone installation, known as an hard disk image, without fear of lost, formatted, or overwritten data. Should the user wish to discontinue use of the Linux system, Wubi also allows for a clean uninstall which does not affect any of the Windows-based programs or protocols.

Wubi is a program meant for installing ubuntu on windows using a single file in an existing windows partition. It added an ubuntu option on the boot menu allowing the user to choose between linux and windows without needing to repartition the disk. While it did a great job at simplifying the choice of systems for the users it did have some limitations such as a lack of the ability to hibernate and was more susceptible to damge during a hard reboot. All in all though it is a very good program making things simpler for the user

The Wubi software was easy to install and the license was free which is always a good thing. it requires a login to use which is a good security measure. however, sometimes it is hard to get it to do what you need it to do. i would give it three out of five stars.

Wubi for Windows allows you to use the desktop system and creates the root disk file. This Wubi for Windows software runs smooth, quick, and stays updated. This software product also creates a swap file for the Windows system. It is important to test this software once it is installed to test any flaws. So far I have not had any issues with Wubi for Windows and it is very fast. The desktop environment is great to use with this Windows software.

Wubi («Windows-based Ubuntu Installer») is a free software Ubuntu installer, that was the official Windows-based software, from 2008 until 2013,[2] to install Ubuntu from within Windows, to a single file within an existing Windows partition.
After installation, it added a new «Ubuntu» option to the existing Windows boot menu which allowed the user to choose between running Linux or Windows, and avoided the need to re-partition the disk.
Wubi was born as an independent project and as such versions 7.04 and 7.10 were unofficial releases.[3]
For Ubuntu 8.04 the code was merged into Ubuntu and for 8.04 alpha 5, Wubi was also on the Ubuntu Live CD.[1]
The project’s aim was to enable existing Windows users, unacquainted with Linux, to try Ubuntu without risking any data loss (due to disk formatting or partitioning mistakes).[3] It could also safely uninstall Ubuntu from within Windows.
It is not a virtual machine, but creates a stand-alone installation within a loopmounted device, also known as a disk image, like Topologilinux does. It is not a Linux distribution of its own, but rather an installer for Ubuntu.[1]
While Wubi does not install Ubuntu directly to its own partition this can also be accomplished by using LVPM, the Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager, to transfer the Wubi-generated Ubuntu installation to a dedicated real partition, including a bootable USB keydrive.[1] The advantage of this setup is that users can test the operating system and install the drivers before they install it to a dedicated partition (and avoid booting and functioning risks).
Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows the user to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed within a file in the Windows file system (c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk), as opposed to being installed within its own partition. This file is seen by Linux as a real hard disk.[1] Wubi also creates a swap file in the Windows file system (c:\ubuntu\disks\swap.disk), in addition to the memory of the host machine. This file is seen by Ubuntu as a swap partition.[1]
A related project, Lubi, used Linux as the host system instead of Windows. However, this project has not been worked on since 2007 and only works on Ubuntu 7.04.[4]
Wubi was removed as an installation option in the official download page from Ubuntu 13.04 onward.[2] However, Wubi installers were still provided for versions up to and including Ubuntu 14.10.[5]
An unofficial fork of Wubi, called wubiuefi, supports UEFI and legacy BIOS as well as newer versions of Ubuntu (as of 2022-04-03, version 20.04.4).
Users can select the desktop environment within Wubi. But, because each desktop environment is also available as an application package, it is recommended that users install Ubuntu (default option) and from there install the other desktop environments. When users log in, they can choose the desktop environment to use.[1]
Compared with a regular installation, a Wubi installation faces some limitations. Hibernation is not supported and the filesystem is more vulnerable to hard reboots.[1] Also, if the Windows drive is unmounted uncleanly (Windows crash, power failure, etc.), Ubuntu will not be able to repair, re-mount, and boot from the Windows NTFS drive until Microsoft Windows has successfully booted, repaired the drive, and then shut down cleanly. If the Windows system could not be booted after the corruption to repair the filesystem, the user would also not be able to boot Ubuntu.
Performance related to hard-disk access is also slightly slower on a Wubi install, more so if the underlying disk image file is fragmented, as the disk image file in the Windows filesystem contains a Linux filesystem whereas without Wubi only the Linux filesystem is used that has direct hardware access.[1]
Wubi creates the root.disk file using Microsoft’s proprietary NTFS file system while running under the MS Windows OS and then while the Ubuntu OS is running it accesses that file using an alternative file system driver. The differences between the Microsoft and Linux implementations of NTFS could technically result in corruption of the root.disk file that affects the NTFS filesystem in such a way that it could even prevent Windows from booting. Running chkdsk /r from MS Windows to fix the damaged NTFS file system and then shutting down Windows cleanly may fix any corruptions (this may take a significant amount of time to run as root.disk is a large file).[6]
Wubi relies on other open source projects: Debian installer, Migration Assistant, Grub4Dos, NTFS-3G, NSIS, Metalink and Ubiquity.[1][7]
The lead developers are Agostino Russo, Geza Kovacs, Oliver Mattos and Ecology2007.[1] The main development occurs at Launchpad and is led by the Lupin Team (Lupin is the loop-installer, handles everything that happens after reboot)[8] through the original Ubuntu blueprint page[9] and the new Wubi,[10] Lubi,[11] Lupin,[12] and LVPM[13] project pages.[1]
Both the i386 (32-bit x86) and x86-64 releases of Ubuntu are supported by Wubi and Lubi.[1] In versions before 8.04, only the x86 release of Ubuntu was supported. Wubi UEFI works with UEFI boot loaders.
A number of Linux distributions, including Red Hat Linux and Slackware’s ZipSlack, provided a similar tool in the mid-1990s, using syslinux and the UMSDOS filesystem driver. Later, SuSE provided something similar using syslinux and loop-mounted disk images on FAT filesystems. During the late ’90s BeOS used a similar system to install the OS in a folder in Windows.
The idea for Wubi was drafted by Agostino Russo taking inspiration from Topologilinux, which provided a loopmounted installation, and Instlux, that provided a simple Windows frontend. The idea[14] was to merge the two concepts having a Windows installer that would loopmount an image of Ubuntu. Geza Kovacs later refined the specification[15] and provided the first prototypes[16] to show that the concept was sound. Oliver Mattos wrote the original user interface in NSIS.
Agostino Russo then refined the loop-installation concept, moving from a simple loopmounted pre-made image file to an image created on the fly using a dynamically patched version of the Debian installer, thus providing an experience which was closer to a real installation while addressing several other issues of the early prototypes. Lupin project was thus born and Agostino Russo wrote and implemented most of its code with some contributions from Geza Kovacs.
Agostino Russo and Ecology2007 later redesigned and rewrote the current Windows front-end. Hampus Wessman contributed the new downloader and the translation scripts. Bean123 and Tinybit also helped to debug and fix bootloader issues. Lubi and LVPM were subsequently created by Geza Kovacs.[17]
The project has inspired the creation of other Windows-based Linux installers, such as Win32-loader.

Есть множество способов попробовать Ubuntu. Кому-то больше нравится установить самому рядом с Windows, кто-то меняет жесткие диски, кто-то насилует виртуальную машину. Для меня самый простой способ – Wubi. Windows-based Ubuntu Installer. Приложение, позволяющее установить Ubuntu как обычную программу для Windows.
Суть Wubi очень проста – запускаем программу, она создает папку на жестком диске, куда закачиваются необходимые файлы, скачивается оригинальный образ Ubuntu, небольшие настройки, перезагрузка… И Ваша Ubuntu готова к использованию!
Точно таким же образов можно установить почти все продукты, основанные на Ubuntu – Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu. Раньше так же были Netbook-версии, но на 11.04 осталась только для Ubuntu. Для версии 11.10, скорее всего, появится еще Lubuntu.
Wubi имеется на всех дисках с Ubuntu. Она находится в корневой папке диске, файл wubi.exe. Но этот файл можно и отдельно скачать. На сайте Ubuntu есть прямая ссылка на него.
Вот эта оранжевая кнопочка с надписью «Start download» — и начнется закачка. Программа весит совсем ничего, меньше 1,5 мегабайт. Но все же лучше все-таки скачать оригинальный CD-образ. Почему, расскажу позже.
После запуска увидим вот это:
Собственно, главное окно программы. Все очень просто, согласитесь, даже запутаться негде!
В самом первом окошечке выбирается на какой жесткий диск Вы хотите установить Ubuntu. У меня он один, поэтому я его и оставлю.
Чуть ниже выбирается место, которое необходимо для новой Ubuntu. Возможно от 3 до 30 Гб, с шагов в 1 Гб. Сама Ubuntu занимает около 7 Гб, но я ставлю максимум. Мало ли что понадобится…
В нижнем списке выбираем какую систему необходимо установить. Напомню, что на дисках для 11.04 это могут быть Ubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook, Kubuntu, Xubuntu и Mythbuntu. Кому что больше нравится.
В колонке справа выбирается язык будущей системы, вводится имя пользователя (login) и пароль с подтверждение. Получается, что пароль один на всю систему – и для входа пользователя, и для администратора.
Так же возможна настройка особых средств для людей с ограниченными возможностями. Для этого следует нажать кнопочку «Доступность».
Перед нами появится вот такое окно. Что значит каждый из пунктов, я не знаю, потому что сам не пробовал, не было необходимости. При желании можно поэкспериментировать. По кнопке «Далее» вернемся на предыдущее окно программы.
Больше настаивать нечего. Если все-таки хотите установить Ubuntu – смело жмем «Установить», если не хотите…
Устанавливаем. Начнется загрузка файлов и образа. Я говорил, что скачивать оригинальный образ лучше, потому что можно обойтись без скачивания образа для Wubi, просто пропустив этот момент. Для этого установщик и файл образа должны находиться в одном каталоге, неважно в каком.
Установщик проверит файл образа и, если все в порядке, извлечет необходимые файлы из него. Никаких дополнительных файлов, например MD5, скачивать не надо.
Такой способ удобен для тех, у кого по умолчанию будет скачиваться х64 образ. При желании иметь х86 систему достаточно, чтобы образ и установщик Wubi были в одном месте, и тогда будет установлена х86 система.
Внимание! Файл образа при таком способе должен быть обязательно CD-диском и не альтернативным. С DVD-дисками Wubi, к сожалению не дружит. Хотя сам файл Wubi на DVD-дисках имеется.
Если все прошло правильно, Вы увидите вот такое окно:
У меня запечатлен как раз момент проверки файла образа диска.
По окончанию установки (1 минута при имеющемся образе, 30 минут при скачивании) достаточно только перезагрузится:
Перезагружаемся… Готово!
Если что-то пошло не так, или Вам не понравилась Ваша Ubuntu, ее легко можно удалить. Снова запускаем этот же установщик:
Нажимаем кнопку «Удалить» и система полностью стирается с Вашего компьютера. Как будто никогда и не было!
При желании можно экспериментировать сколько угодно раз.
Вместо послесловия.
-
Бывает, что при запуске установщика Wubi выскакивает ошибка. Ничего страшного, просто нажимаем кнопочку «Отмена» необходимое количество раз. На систему, как на Windows, так и на Ubuntu, это не влияет.
-
Каждой сборке Ubuntu соответствует своя версия установщика Wubi. На примере использована версия Wubi 211 – она соответствует Ubuntu 11.04. Если хотите более раннюю версию, их легко найти в интернете.
-
Wubi работает на всех системах, кроме Windows ME.
Удачной работы!
