I use Ubuntu/Edubuntu. I support the Wubi migration/resize scripts and occasionally blog about it. I'm also on ubuntuforums.org and twitter.

How to convert Wubi installation into live USB regular one? Your question, 1st para: I want to migrate and make sure I don't lose settings. The answer: the wubi migration lets you migrate without modifying your Wubi install. The way you test a backup is to fully restore it as a real installation, you don't test backups from a live USB. You can use a live USB to restore from a backup, but for a Wubi install to a normal install, you need more than just a restore from a backup. In essence, the Wubi migration is just that - it copies your Wubi install to a real install, while making the essential modification that are required. |

Run a shell script from terminal @codingcrow That was your edit. I just replaced /home/user with an environment variable that applies to any user. Unless you meant to hardcode to a user named user? If it says "no such file or directory", then that indicates that the ddms.sh script does not exist at that location. |

Wubi installer stuck on 75% Are you installing with the 32-bit ISO? What graphics card do you have? What release of Ubuntu? Please can you add your wubi log file to the bug report (in %temp% directory called wubi-nn.nn-revnnn.log). Thanks |

Ubuntu - Keyboard not working + strange screen when changing user Try the duplicate, hopefully it solves both your keyboard and graphics problems (you said in your other question that the keyboard works in safe mode). To boot from the second hard drive, try changing the boot order. |

Lubuntu doesn't repond to keyboard! + account not found (wubi) No prob, I think it's a Wubi bug myself... I'm going to dupe your question to how to install additional drivers for your graphics card. If that isn't correct or you are still having issues, please let us know by editing the question and commenting afterwards. Thanks |

How to convert Wubi installation into live USB regular one? Persistence refers to the USB having the ability to save changes you make (otherwise they're gone every time you reboot). Refer to how to create a USB for more. The reason no one is giving instructions is that it's actually a lot of work, and anywhere your user name is stored will have to be updated (because the live USB user is "ubuntu"). And that's what I'm trying to say too. What you are trying to do is unique and that requires a very specific question so that it can be answered by someone. And it may not even be possib |

No primary partitions left: how to install Ubuntu now that wubi is no longer supported? Wubi is as (un)?reliable as it ever was. Keep using it or delete a partition. The other option is to install on an external drive or VM. |

Lubuntu doesn't repond to keyboard! + account not found (wubi) Just another point: Wubi will use your Windows account name as the 'Friendly name' even though gilles will be the actual account name under the covers e.g. /home/gilles. Maybe that's causing some confusion? |

Computer doesn't restart on restart Please edit your question to provide more information e.g. hardware, Ubuntu release etc. As it stands it cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. |

How to convert Wubi installation into live USB regular one? This is why the Wubi migration is ideal: it copies everything, so it is both a backup and a fully bootable install. You get to run it and make sure it is identical before removing Wubi. Or you can keep both. You can migrate to more than one location - each one bootable. But... to your question, I don't know how you would load all your settings into your live USB. You could copy your /home over the live USB /home, provided you have persistence... try that. Don't know if you can then install all your programs. Maybe make a brand new question that is just about that (unrelated to Wubi). |

UEFI setup extreme3 gen3 American Megatrends It is difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. This question has already been flagged to be closed, so I recommend editing it to conform to the standards: askubuntu.com/faq#close |

grub rescue…delete ubuntu…windows 8…purple screen Also your purple screen is probably because of your graphics card and you need nomodeset so refer to this: askubuntu.com/questions/162075/… |

Keyboard not working in Kubuntu. Mouse does I think this is just a graphics card issue. Try booting with nomodeset (or in Safe mode) and then install a graphics driver. askubuntu.com/questions/162075/… and askubuntu.com/questions/47506/how-do-i-install-extra-drivers |

Lubuntu doesn't repond to keyboard! + account not found (wubi) There are two issues here. One is you need nomodeset: askubuntu.com/questions/162075/… Not sure about the second... what is the "Standard account". Do you mean ubuntu or guest...? |

Logon Failed Ubuntu 13.04 This is an unusual problem. I'd try resetting the password: askubuntu.com/questions/24006/… Also, please pastebin the Wubi log ( \%temp%\wubi-13.04-rev279.log). Thanks. |

Logon Failed Ubuntu 13.04 Wubi works fine with Windows 8 - it doesn't work with computers booting with UEFI (so any computer that has Windows 8 preinstalled, and some Windows 7 computers). |

How to convert Wubi installation into live USB regular one? The duplicate thread offers more than one answer. The first is to migrate and allows you to fully test the migrated (identical) install before removing Wubi. The second links to a guide where you can backup settings and data and reinstall fresh. These are the standard ways of migrating so I guess I don't understand why these don't work for you. Live USBs are based on the Ubuntu ISO (or a remastered ISO) and the work involved to inject your settings and install your programs make it more work. |

Lubuntu doesn't repond to keyboard! + account not found (wubi) Please update question with hardware specs (incl. graphics card). Also, what does this mean "I can log in with the account user"? How does the "account user" differ from the "account I made in wubi"? |

How to convert Wubi installation into live USB regular one? What do you mean by migration from the Wubi configuration to the live USB configuration? It's not possible to migrate a normal install to a live USB except by something like remastersys but even that limits the size of the install. If you can migrate the full install easily, why do you want to go to this extra step to create a live USB? Edit your question to make it clear what you are trying to do. |
