WUBI is included in that ISO file right? So is there a need to download it separately?

Actually, the link you've now included is just the 1.40MB sized WUBI installer.
The Ubuntu disk image specified here : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop has the file WUBI already included inside the ISO file. So downloading this is what is needed.
Installed using only the Wubi file and it's working amazing!

Hi Installed Ubduntu in my USB drive and booted ubuntu from my USB drive.. After that i created couple of shortcuts in my desktop and installed Real player for playing music.. i shutdown the PC after finishing my work.
But when i booted next time from USB in desktop noting was there and i couldn't find the programs i installed (Realplayer,Vlc)
Anybody can tell me why it is happening?
It sounds like you just installed the apps on the virtual drive and did not actually install it to the device
who can i change the installation location?
And wat about the files which i saved in my desktop?
What you have installed to your USB is the livecd, and not a persistent install. What you currently have now on your USB is the livecd, so you can try it out and install to your PC from the USB drive. There is a way to actually install it to your USB drive persistently. I would post the link here but I don't have enough posts yet, so you have to google
I don't know with which method you created the ubuntu stick. But i recommend doing it with the wizard tool from ubuntu.com.
Universal USB Installer

There you can also add persistence, which is then saving the changes you are making to the live system. Anyhow, for a real productive system i can only suggest to do a full install, instead of running it all from stick.

Thanks for ur response
I installed ubuntu 10.10 in my USB.. and i used universal installer 1.8.3.3 to install ubuntu in my USB.. During the installation i didn't get any option to select the persistent which u showed in the screen short

I think your usb stick is too small try at least 2gb, the bigger the better.
Just been trying this myself with the newest version (1.8.4.5)
With my 1 gb stick i can't select persistance, with my 4 gb stick it gives me up to 2 gb persistence space.
I love ubuntu. However, I haven't installed it. Just usually boot it off of my usb. trying to find uses for it.
@Xadro
I tried with 4GB Perdrive and then i select 1GB persistence.. still whatever the program i installed will not be there once i reboot the PC.

See http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/. It is probably the easiest guide on how to install adb/fastboot.

I tried to install it, my path adress is:
%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Intel\DMIX;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\
I tried to add ;C:\Android at the end, but I can't get Fastboot to open! Help?
hey guys im trying to use virtualBox on my Ubuntu machine. Im trying to run windows 7. Got it all set up and loaded with no problems. Heres where I cant get passed.
Im trying to get VB to utilize the entire screen space. Ive read through all the articles about installing the additions iso. I cant seem to find a good copy. Also I cant get Odin to recognize my phone either. I have USB set up in VB and can access the files on phone but cant get Odin to recognize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can install guest additions from within VirtualBox. It shows up as a mounted CD drive. Open it, & run the appropriate script.
If your ultimate goal is to use Odin, though, I don't think it will work through VirtualBox. Maybe it's possible, but I think it needs direct access to the USB. You could just dual-boot Windows & do it directly.
Thanks for the info

thanx for the info dude. I guess i just assumed i could get it to work in a virtual machine. Could have swore Ive seen Adam doing it...mind u he is MUCH MUCH more educated than me. That is my goal. I have a linux machine and wanna use odin to flash Adams Odin root file for the Note 2. No problem running his CASUAL program, but need to root it first and as far as I can tell it needs to be done in Windows. I guess I can always turn a spare computer back into a windows machine...just didnt wanna have to go through the headache,.
Well, you can boot off a Ubuntu install disk (or make a GParted Live USB), then use gparted to resize your Ubuntu. Set a few GB aside for a new partition, then install Windows there, instead of installing Windows in the VM. It ends up being the same thing, just a few more steps to get it running.
Just make sure you back up your grub config and mbr. I don't think Windows would make your Ubuntu install vanish, but ya never know...

Oh, yeah. The default command to switch to fullscreen mode is Host+F, where the default Host key is Right Ctrl (so, RightCtrl+F).
i recently downloaded the ubuntu dekstop 14.0.4 LTS (32 bit) and everything was going well .......i burnt the iso file into a cd n even the ubuntu was working fine through the cd but after i installed it ....it said installation completed and the system need to restart and after pressing restart button ..it tells me to remove the cd and hit enter and i did it but after restart it says >>> " busy box v1.21.1 (ubuntu 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
does anyone have the solution to this ???? i've searched on google but no success!!!
Easiest way to solve it is probably just to do a reinstall. You did try that, right?

Strange, maybe 14.04 isn't compatible with your hardware somehow. Try 12.04 LTS

Hello,
As the title says, I want to remove Android an install Debian or Ubuntu on my Cube IWork12. I think I can't make a normal installation because the setup doesn't have all drivers.
Waiting for your answers,

Hi,
I don't think you can do that.
