Download Bubakup Browse all downloads (additional packages for other distros/versions) Introduction Bubakup, the Bootable Ubuntu Backup, is a tool that allows you to create a bootable backup image of your running system. It supports creating uncompressed, bootable loopmounted disk images of the whole or parts of the system, deleting backup disk images, archiving backup disk images using 7-zip, restoring backed-up archived disk images, and LVPM (which is pre-installed in the generated disk images) can be used to restore the backup loopmounted disk image to an actual partition.

Packages available: Ubuntu Debian openSUSE Gentoo Introduction UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. You can either let it download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list. Requirements * Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista, or Linux. If you are having trouble with the Linux version, try the Windows version, it usually works better. * A broadband internet connection to download the distribution's .iso file (unless you're using pre-downloaded files) Features UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a "frugal install" on your local hard disk if you don't have a USB drive. It can load distributions by automatically downloading their ISO (CD image) files, or by using existing ISO files, floppy/hard disk images, or kernel/initrd files, for installing other distributions.

Download LVPM 8.04/7.10/7.04 Download Partition Manager for Windows Download Partition Manager for Ubuntu Browse all downloads (additional packages for other distros/versions) Introduction The Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager allows users to upgrade their existing Wubi or Lubi installation to a standard Ubuntu system by transferring all data, settings, and applications from the original install to a dedicated partition. The advantages of upgrading using LVPM are better disk performance and reliability, and the ability to replace the original operating system with Ubuntu. Requirements LVPM has been tested on installs created by Wubi 8.04, Wubi 7.10, Wubi 7.04, and Lubi 7.04. Partition Manager (Only Needed If You Don't Have Any Spare Partitions) Before using LVPM, you will need to have 1 spare partition for the root filesystem, and another partition formatted as swap. If you don't have any spare partitions, you can use the Partition Manager tool (short video tutorial here), boot it and open GParted, then resize your partitions and create a swap partition of equal size to your RAM, and the main target ext3 partition. Howtoforge also has a step-by-step screenshot-based guide on using the Partition Manager.

Using Wubi With Windows XP

Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way. Are you curious about Linux and Ubuntu? Trying them out has never been easier!

O "problema" do Linux é que os usuários querem que ele seja como o Windows, tudo "facinho" de fazer e de mão beijada (ou quase), aliás isso era uma coisa que eu queria tb, mesmo já sendo relativamente experiente no Linux. O que não pode acontecer é essa facilidade de fazer as coisas não deixe o sistema tb tão vulnerável qto o é no Windows. Quer um exemplo? Só de sacanagem em um hd que eu ia formatar e estava com o Ubuntu e o XP eu digitei no terminal " sudo rm -rf " e simplesmente detonou os arquivos da partição do Windows (que estava montada) e uma pá de coisa da partição do Linux e, "butando" o micro, nem grub tinha mais. Imagine um piru aí qualquer fazer un script com esse comando de modo mais "inteligente" e assim fazer com que o usuário tenha o seu sistema detonado pq o Linux ficou "mais fácil", e esse é só um exemplo.

Eu amo a ultima versão Wubi. 29/04/2008 - 12:07 Adorei o que implementaram: Wubi agora baixa a ISO e rebaixa para verificar. Não seria mais fácil usar MD5 para verificar a integridade? Isso é só aqui, ou todo mundo tá com esse problema? (ah, to sem drive de DVD/CD, uma vez que eu arrebentei o flat ontem.. =)

http://wubi-installer.org/ “Está farto do Windows? Gostava de experimentar o Linux (neste caso o Ubuntu) sem ter que se preocupar com a criação de partições no disco, ou de fazer o resize da actual partição do Windows para instalar o Ubuntu? Agora é possível, e é tão fácil como instalar e remover uma aplicação no Windows… funciona às mil maravilhas. Wubi é o seu nome. E é tão simples e ao mesmo tempo fabuloso. O Wubi permite que se instale o Ubuntu (ou o Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu) tal como qualquer aplicação do Windows, e cria uma entrada nova do menu de boot to seu PC com a opção para correr o Ubuntu. Nada de partições. Nada de complicações (para quem ache que criar e mexer em partições possa ser complicado). Para remover o Ubuntu, é tão simples como remover qualquer outra aplicação Windows. Mais simples que isto não há… Resumindo, o Wubi é: * Simples; * Seguro; * Discreto; * e Livre. É sem dúvida a forma mais simples de experimentar o Ubuntu.”

Wubi também funciona com parentes do Ubuntu - testado com o Kurumin NG “Primeiro um resumo sobre o Wubi: O Wubi (Ubuntu Installer for Windows) é um executável windows que permite instalar (e desinstalar) o Ubuntu dentro de uma partição windows, sem particionamento, e que agora vem incluído por default na versão 8.04. O processo de instalação é extremamente simplificado para usuários habituados ao Windows. Agora a dica em si. Se você tem uma iso ou cd de uma distribuição derivada do Ubuntu que não oferece um Wubi personalizado ainda, é possível usar o Wubi oficial do Ubuntu. Para isso, basta executar o Wubi com o parâmetro “–skipmd5check” na mesma pasta onde está o iso ou com o cd no drive. Aprendi isso lendo o WubiGuide, wiki do ubuntu: wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide. É claro que para funcionar o sistema derivado tem de manter certa similaridade com o processo se instalação do Ubuntu, então não vá pensando que vai dar certo com qualquer um, ok? Eu testei isso com o Beta 2 do Kurumin NG. Veja o passo a passo: www.guiadohardware.net/comunidade/showpost/3706314.html”

How to help get applications working in Wine If you want to help get an application working in Wine, the first thing you should do is register yourself in the applications database and use one of your votes to indicate that you'd like more effort to be spent on the application. Every once in a while, a Wine developer will finish a project and look for something to do - combing through the higher voted apps to find one that people need work on is a great way to spend one's time and fill up a todo list. If the application that you want working is not listed in the applications database, there is an easy to use form available for you to add it. If the application is in the database, but lacks a maintainer, you should consider becoming one. If you are familiar with Wine and have a desire to test the application and help get or keep it working, please apply by clicking the link in the application's page. Each application should have a supermaintainer, and, if different versions of the application are substantially different (such as in Internet Explorer), each subversion should have a maintainer. Please don't feel deterred by the need to apply to become a maintainer - the application form is largely a formality to prevent abuse and we can virtually guarantee your acceptance. If you are the developer or publisher of the application, you obviously have a very big incentive to help get your application working under Wine. Fortunately, there are many options available to you other than reporting bugs and hoping someone will fix them. By far the easiest way is to simply send free copies of your software to Wine developers and hope they'll take an interest in getting it working. You'd be amazed how effective this approach can be, particularly for games. An alternative option, perhaps more effective and expensive, is to pay Wine developers for their work on your application, either directly through a negotiated contract or indirectly by posting a bounty. CodeWeavers, a major Wine developer, offers a special section for pledges at their compatibility center website. The most direct method, however, is to help develop Wine itself and contribute code directly, which is exactly what Corel did for WordPerfect several years ago. In any case, making a post on the Wine developers email list can go a long way
