Category: Install Problem (example) Group: v1.0 (example) Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-09-29 12:40 Message: Henry, many thanks for your support and all the suggestions. Sorry for the late answer, but I dont have had the time, but just I'll try to get WUBI installed Ubuntu running with coLinux. By the side, coLinux is a great work! Thank you for the time, that you spend for this project and the support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-09-26 23:40 Message: Add "text" to the boot parameter in coLinux config. This should skip loading GDM to have a text only system. Add "nosplash". Maybe this produce the error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-09-26 20:54 Message: > to stop the GUI (gnome-desktop) at Ubuntu 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-09-24 21:49 Message: 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? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-09-24 16:23 Message: 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.

(henryn) Date: 2009-09-23 22:12 Message: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-09-23 17:06 Message: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-09-22 19:11 Message: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-09-22 06:34 Message: I try this with a Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.3LTS WUBI installation as it would be described at the coLinux Wiki.

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N.

Sergio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-01-04 19:22 Message: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-01-04 19:09 Message: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=622064&aid=2485983&group_id=98788 |
