Summary: Booting a WUBI image from c:\ drive in CoLinux

Initial Comment:
I am trying to boot an image that was installed by WUBI on my C:\ drive. If someone could help me get this working, then Linux would basically run natively from within Windows without requiring any new partitions. That would be awesome.

WUBI puts its linux image in the location

C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk

So I modified the example.conf file to say

cobd0="C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk"

But alas it does not boot properly. I have included a dump from the screen of what colinux-daemon.exe outputs when it is trying to boot. It just repeats

request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

a few times and then hangs. I think it is to do with the line

ReiserFS: cobd0: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on cobd0

that comes up when it is booting. I think this may be because I left the root pointing to

root=/dev/cobd0

in the example.conf file when maybe WUBI takes it from somewhere else. Help would be greatly appreciated!!

.Just I have the WUBI installed Ubuntu 8.04LTS fully functional working
with coLinux and xRDP under Windows and as dual-boot Windows/Ubuntu system.
I dont know, that this is the right or best way, because I dont have as a
Windows user any expirences with Linux. But as I have seen, that the remote
desktop solution of Ubuntu with the vino VNC server dont start any new X
session and only "shadow" the running Ubuntu system remotly, than I have
had the right idea for coLinux with the XRDP connection:

As I have say to install the tightvncserver for the RDP connection, this
was not the right solution, because the tightvncserver starts a new remote
X session. 

1. Configure the dual-booted native Ubuntu 8.04LTS for the remote desktop
access and without the installation of the tightvncserver (the vino VNC
server is installed at Ubuntu 8.04LTS).

2. Configure the auto login.

3. Install the XRDP package.

4. Edit as a root user the /etc//xrdp/startwm.sh file, so that startwm.sh
nothing do (outcomment all lines), because we will not start any new X
session, e.g.:

#!/bin/sh

# . /etc/X11/Xsession

5. Edit as a root user the /etc//xrdp/xrdp.ini file, so that the RDP port
is not 3389 (e.g. 3390) and the first xrdp section have the right values
for the vino VNC server, e.g.:

[globals]
bitmap_cache=yes
bitmap_compression=yes
port=3390
crypt_level=low
channel_code=1

[xrdp1]
name=vino-VNC
lib=libvnc.so
username=ask
password=ask
ip=127.0.0.1
port=5900

6. Edit as a root user the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file, so that the X server
will not be started direct, but with the "wrapper" shell script gdm-startx.
Do this at the section for the X server definitions and leave the original
X server start parameter, e.g.:

# X Server Definitions
#
# Note: Is your X server not listening to TCP requests?  Refer to the 
# security/DisallowTCP setting!

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/etc/gdm/gdm-startx -br -audit 0 
flexible=true

7. Create the right /etc/gdm/gdm-startx shellscipt, e.g.:

#!/bin/sh
#
# start the X server with the "Default" layout
# if the system is nativly booted
LAYOUT=Default
# if the system is started with the coLinux
# kernel, than start the X server with the
# "coLinux" layout
if uname -r | grep -qe "-co-"
then
LAYOUT=coLinux
fi
#
# run the Xserver with the args that were passed
exec X -layout $LAYOUT $*

8.  Edit as a root user the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and rename the
original "Default  Layout" into the single word identifier "Default", add
the "dummy" driver as the "coLinux" device, add a "Generic Monitor" for the
use with coLinux, add screen defination for coLinux and last the X server
layout for coLinux, e.g.:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool,
using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)

With the other adaptions of the configuration files (as at the Wiki for
the WUBI with coLinux) you can just (dual-)boot the Windows system and use
the same WUBI generated imgage files for the start with coLinux under
Windows. The "Remote Desktop Connection" from Windows can be done with the
Windows terminal server client, which is included at any Windows
installation or can be downloaded from Microsoft.

All Ubuntu 8.04LTS functions are working under coLinux (including the
administrative tasks, e.g. the Synaptic package manager), as they are
working under the native Ubuntu 8.04.LTS.

My idea is, run "xhost +" as the user, than the Xserver should allow the
access to current session.

Moving or copying the file .Xauthority would not help you, I think. In
this file was stored which user was logged in and this exist on the Xserver
- on the Windows maybe in your case.
Run "xauth -v" and give the commands "info" and "list" to see what 's
going on. compaire it with your native Ubuntu. Leave this tool with "quit".
Sorry, that I don't know, ho you can add an entry there.

I have one "little" problem:

At the coLinux started WUBI installed Ubuntu system I cannot do any
administrative action (run Synaptic etc.), because a Xauthority error:
"Cannot copy the .xauthority file" (or so).

I have read some tips for that error; "As root copy the root .xauthority
file into the users home directory" (but the root have not such file) and
so on.

The (dual-) booted native WUBI installed Ubuntu is fully functional
without any error, and I can use rdesktop to build a (local) XRDP/tightvnc
server session, which is fully functional too.

This error comes from the GDM login, as I understand it right, but as a
Windows user with little Linux knowledge I cannot figure out this problem.

Just I have the right language at the Gnome-Desktop for the XRDP session:

You must export the language variable before the start of the X sessin at
the startwm.sh shell-scrip under /etc//xrdp/ so that this would be:

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/default/locale
export LANG
. /etc/X11/Xsession

The most problems with XRDP sessions comes from the crashing
gnome-settings-daemon and this can be solved, if you disables the keyboard
and mouse plugins with the gconf-editor startet at the terminal console.
The plugins will be found at gconf-editor tree
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins. Deactivate the two plugins keyboard
and mouse and then the gnome-settings-daemon dont crashes at XRDP sessions.
My German keyboard is then a German keyboard and only the Gnome-Panel
language is reverted to English.

A RDP connection from Windows into running coLinux/Ubuntu is simple:

1. Install under the nativ (dual-)booted Ubuntu with Synaptic xRDP server
and the tightvncserver. 

2. Change the default RDP port from 3389 into 3390 (e.g.) at the
/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini file.

3. Restart the computer into the dual-booted Windows system.

4. Add at the coLinux start configuration the portforewarding for the 3390
port, e.g. if you use the SLIRP network configuration.

5. Start the coLinux/Ubuntu and then start the Microsoft Terminal Server
Client (Remote Desktop Connection). Use as the computer name the connection
IP and the right port, e.g. 127.0.0.1:3390 for the SLIRP network connection
into coLinux.

The port number change must be done for the SLIRP network, because Windows
has a own RDP server at port 3389 (the standard RDP port).

Just I have some little problems (not installed modules under
coLinux/Ubuntu, some error messages at the coLinux/Ubuntu start) and one
greater problem: the xRDP session uses not the right keyboard mapping and
not the the right language settings (English settings and not the German
settings). But these problems with xRDP are known.

One note to xRDP with Ubuntu 8.04LTS:

This is a older version 0.4.0 of the xRDP server and cannot used with the
newer Microsoft RDP clients of Windows Vista or Windows XP with SP3. It
gives a newer version of the xRDP server, but not as a DEB package for
Ubuntu.

Just I have the WUBI installed Ubuntu 8.04LTS running with coLinux. I can
dual-boot the native Ubuntu, or the native Windows, or the native Windows
with coLinux/Ubuntu.

The starting X-server with coLinux was the problem!  To solve this
problem, two things must be done:

1. Edit the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file as superuser (or root) and start not
the X server direct and use for this a shell script gdm-startx (e.g.).
Under the server section of the gdm.conf (near the file end) you 'll find
this:

....
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0
flexible=true 
....
Change the

command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0

into

command=/etc/gdm/gdm-startx -br -audit 0 

2. Build the shell script gdm-startx at the same directory (/etc/gdm) with
the following content:

#!/bin/sh
#
# to skip the Xserver under coLinux boot.
if uname -r | grep -qe "-co-"
then
        exit 0
fi
#
# run the Xserver with the args that were passed
exec X $*

This is all to stop the start of the X-server only if you start the WUBI
installed Ubuntu 8.04LTS under coLinux, but not if the Ubuntu 8.04LTS ist
nativly running, thanks the dual-boot WUBI installed Ubuntu.

The next try would be for me to get the RDP connection from Windows into
the coLinux/Ubuntu running.

As stated at the Wiki for the dual-boot conversion, the fstab file must be

The first lines are the original WUBI entries and the last two lines are
the coLinux entries. The nativ Linux kernel of the dual-booted system dont
know the coLinux entries and vice versa. The coLinux entries could be
appended with a script file, e.g. and this is simpler for the most Windows
users.

You 'll find the the latest Ubuntu LTS version 8.04.3 desktop CD download
at

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

and the functional WUBI installer is included at this CD image.

But you are right. newer versions of WUBI cannot install older versions of
Ubuntu.

> or from the Radeon driver for the Xserver

The Xserver should not load. ;-(

If the "text" does not work, then locate (search) for other bootparameters
for text mode. Grep for the passage "/proc/cmdline" in all files under
/etc/init.d/. Near this line you should find how the text mode was
detected.

Try to skip /etc/init.d/gdm completely by adding follow line near top of
this file:
  uname -r | grep -qe "-co-" && exit 0

Don't worry about low memory. Text only mode don't need so mutch memory.
But, with small tricky you can add the swap for coLinux only:
  uname -r | grep -qe "-co-" && swapon /dev/cobd1
Add this line some there in any of the early boot scripts, for example
into the script what does call "mount -a".

Sorry, that I can not help better. But, 8.04 is not installable via WUBI.
No download server is available after the start of latest Wubi-8.04.431.

Add the word "single" (without quotes) into coLinux config, This boot
parameter got me a Recovery Menu , where I can "Drop to root shell
prompt".
This I have found for Ubuntu 8.10.

And this was/is the only boot parameter, which gives the root shell
console. The other boot parameters "nosplash" or/and "text" dont solve the
problem.

Because I can just "Drop to root shell prompt", I can try somethings to
solve the problem with the "core dunp". I found nothings at the LOG files
what crashs and I cannot see a displayed crash messages at the FLTK or NT
console of colinux. But I think the problem comes from the missing swap
file or low RAM for a full Ubuntu (my PC have only 512MB RAM), or from the
Radeon driver for the Xserver.

First, if you want to boot in DualBoot, then don't change the /etc/fstab!!!
coLinux would run with the original too. Perhaps you would have no swap, so
you needs to add and script for coLinux bootup and add a line like "swapon
/edv/cobd1"

The output on FLTK is not normal, I think. This are memory maps for used
libraries. Perhaps any binary is faulting and Ubuntu prints a core dump
about used libs?

It's not simple to stop the GUI (gnome-desktop) at Ubuntu, because Ubuntu
(Debian?) uses the runlevels not in the Linux typically manner. Ubuntu have
only the runlevel 1 and 2 at booting, and runlevels 3...5 are all the same
as runlevel 2.

But thanks the dualboot functionality of the WUBI installed Ubuntu, I can
boot into the native Ubuntu and inspect the log files. I have seen at the
log files part foir the coLinux boot, that the conet network interface is
fully configured, e.g. the ndis-bridged conet interface get the right IPs
automatically from the DHCP server at the ADSL router.

I think too, that the problem is the start of the Xserver and/or the
gnome-desktop (with the activated auto-logon at Ubuntu). I'll try to modify
the start-scripts of Ubuntu, as described at the Wiki for the WUBI/Dualboot
conversion, at the running native Ubuntu. I hope/think, that than it should
be possible to get a working dualboot WUBI installation and with a working
coLinux with the same WUBI image.

Maybe you tries to boot coLinux with GUI in runlevel 3?
Set the default runlevel 2.

After it's stopping, please close the FLTK console (right top cross), and
run colinux-console-nt.exe, to have copy & paste with left mouse menu.
Please post here the last lines from this console.

Many thanks henry for youre response.

I have solved the udev-persitent eth0/eth2 renaming, but the problem is
the same. I have tried the ndis-bridge network interface, but the problem
is the same too.

At the FLTK console I see some library loading information, but not other
at the stopping end. If the dispayed messages are important, I can post
this here.

Just I'll try the WUBI converting instruction for Ubuntu 8.10, but this is
not a LTS version of Ubuntu and I'm more interrested at the LTS versions.

You need to find a way, that you can see the hanging script name. I don't
know exactly how you can do it with Ubuntu. It should be exist a boot
parameter or a setting in some of the /etc files to print more verbose
about the booting scripts.

I see "udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth2" there, that says, you
have not fixed the udev rule script. Add the bypass for coLinux. Check the
coLinux boot.

If not helps, maybe the network script hangs on non existing interface? 
What network interface you have on normal boot of wubi? Use the same (eth0
or eth1) under coLinux. If you need a second network, add a network with
ndis-bridge (and the name of your real network card) to colinux.conf.

Try SSH login: Replace the "eth0=slirp" with "eth0=slirp,,tcp:22:22". Boot
Wubi in normal mode and setup a SSH server. Than boot coLinux and try to
login via SSH from Windows to "localhost" port 22. (Yes SLiRP is listen on
localhost.)

Have you a FLTK console and it contains the same kernel messages, you have
printed here? Ends FLTK with same message?
Maybe Ubuntu has an error console on tty9 or tty10? Try ALT-F9 and ALT-F10
to switch the consoles.

What can I do?

The WUBI installed Ubuntu runs without any problems, and I have installed
the XRDP package at Ubuntu, I can get the RDP connection from Windows into
the Ubuntu. My intention is to use the Windows RDP client to get the Ubuntu
desktop from the running coLinux/Ubuntu system.

I have made the same with the Thinstuff LX Server a long time ago, and it
was fully functional in the combination with a coLinux/Ubuntu 6.06 system,
but the Thinstuff LX Server is a dicontinued product and dont be fully
functional after the Ubuntu upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04.

It would be nice, to get a RDP connection with the Ubuntu 8.04 system,
because a RDP client hase all Windows versions since Windows 2000, and you
dont install some other programs (VNCviewer, Cygwin, Xming ...) to get a
Linux desktop at the Windows machine.

Oh, sorry, have not seen your attchement.
Please forget the scsi stuff.

cobd is ok, the filesystem ext2 was mounted correctly.
But you need to prepere some thing before you can run it. I don't know
all.
First, install please the modules manualy. The modules are in the file
vmlinux-modules.tar.gz in your coLinux directory.
Run WUBI and unpack the modules file as root with this command:

  tar xzf vmlinux-modules.tar.gz -C /

Check, on what mount point is your file mounted. It is something like sda1
or hda1. WUBI does not know "cobd0". Use the mount you found from running
WUBI and replace the cobd0 in the colinux config with this.

Remove initrd from colinux config.

For the first boot, bypass the normal runlevel to have a simple shell. Add
this to your boot parameters:
  init 1
or
  init=/bin/bash

I think there needs more work to bypass the loop mount.

I'm afraid, that WOBI does not use a raw single partition in the file.

If WUBI use whole disk with partitions and it is only one file, You can
try to replace this lines:

  cobd0="C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk"
  root=/dev/cobd0

with

  scsi0=disk,"C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk"
  root=/dev/sda1

The scsi0 is usable only in the devel version, you can get it from
http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/

For more help, I need to kwon how WUBI store the data in the file.
Please post the the output from 'mount' running under WUBI here.
