I've recently installed Ubuntu using Wubi on my windows 7 computer.

My goal is to instal Team Fortress 2 onto the Ubuntu part so I can play TF2 in Linux.

So far everything has gone well from installing steam to transfering the TF2 backup over so I would not have to redownload the 12GB. However, this is where the trouble arises. I cannot remember the specific amount of space that I allowed ubuntu when I installed it, but it is not enough.

How can I increase the space that Ubuntu can use so that I can instal Team Fortress 2?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeWubiDisk

  1. You have to boot from a live CD/USB. This won't work while running Wubi.

  2. Backup the root.disk (not required, but a good idea)

  3. Mount the NTFS partition that your root.disk is on (this example assumes it's /dev/sda1 and the mountpoint is /media/win - adjust accordingly in the following instructions):

    sudo mkdir -p /media/win sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/win

  4. Check the size of the root.disk (not required)

    du -h --apparent-size /media/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk

  5. Run fsck on the root.disk

    fsck -f /media/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk

  6. Resize - specify the desired final size (this example resizes to 10 GB)

    resize2fs /media/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk 10G

  7. Reboot back into Wubi Ubuntu
