Update Wubiuefi installer to the latest version 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)
Opened this issue · 13 comments
No problem to report, only that I just wish the installer could run the latest version of Ubuntu (24.04)
I would love to have this, too! :-)
Same here waiting for 24.04 :)
Bump, that would be cool. 20.04 -> 22.04 -> 24.04 is not hard to do once installing 20.04 but still.
@WWarrior64 Did you recompile wubiuefi or did you provide command-line options to it? How exactly did you get 24.04 working?
I tried supplying command-line args to wubi.exe, ones found here, but the installer does nothing. I also tried recompiling by installing the dependencies listed in the official docs (gettext build-essential grub-pc mingw32), but MinGW is called something else in both 22.04 and 24.04 (mingw-w64), but running make doesn't finish.
I changed data/isolist.ini to have the entry
[Ubuntu-amd64]
max_iso_size=3700000000
arch=amd64
name=Ubuntu
packages=ubuntu-desktop
metalink=http://releases.ubuntu.com/noble/ubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.list
metalink2=http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/noble/daily-live/pending/noble-desktop-amd64.list
website=http://www.ubuntu.com
ordering=1
however upon building it errors on the step
grub-mkimage -O x86_64-efi -c build/winboot/wubildr-bootstrap.cfg -m build/winboot/wubildr.tar -o build/winboot/EFI/grubx64.efi \

all_video gfxterm_background png gfxmenu
grub-mkimage: error: cannot open `/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/linuxefi.mod': No such file or directory.
I'm running this in WSL2, which is as close as I can get to a Linux environment without having to fire up a full-blown VM just to compile wubi.exe.
What am I doing wrong?
I got a little further, but now there is a crash inside pypack
PYTHONPATH=src tools/pywine -OO src/pypack/pypack --verbose --bytecompile --outputdir=build/wubi src/main.py data build/bin build/version.py build/winboot build/translations

@MathiasMagnus I think there is some misunderstanding here. @WWarrior64 wishes that the installer can run the latest version of Ubuntu. I don't think he claims that the installer can run the latest version of Ubuntu!
This is more of a humble request for a new release that we all long for.

Yes that right. Sorry, I'm not very good at English, the thing that I tried to said is that it would be good the installer can run Ubuntu 24.04 Sorry for the misinterpreting
Sorry, for my late reply. I will create new releases for Wubiuefi soon.
Thank you @hakuna-m
Thank you! I love Wubiuefi!

Awesome! looking forward to it! thanks for your work!
Will there be a new Wubi release once 24.04.1 is out?
