Error Cannot Retrieve Metalink For Repository Fedora. Please Verify Its Path
favorite Lots of people in the community have had problems with the Wubi already. I also have those problems. But after checking the logfiles of the problem, I had an idea, and I hope that someone can help me with it. For example, the logfile shows that the Wubi tries to download file from here, but the thing is that it has updated to 14.04.3. So my question is, is there anyway to change the link that it error cannot retrieve metalink for repository epel. please verify its path and requests, or to talk to the developers about this? 14.04 wubi share|improve this question asked Aug 15 '15 at 10:48 Chromium 1271214 1 It is not a bug, but wubi is supported no more. –Ron Aug 15 '15 at 10:56 1 possible duplicate of Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO –Ron Aug 15 '15 at 10:59 I mean that we can make it fix the problem, probably, if we can really change it. –Chromium Aug 15 '15 at 11:03 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted The devs must know the issue because of an existing bug report for 14.04.1. 14.04.1 was the first point release where the devs forgot(?) to update the links. IMHO there are the following solutions to fix this: You avoid Wubi (recommended). You wait until devs will fix this (Maybe, this will never happen) You change the file mentioned in bug report by your own. (Maybe, this solution is too difficult for you). You use a workaround for 14.04.1 published by bcbc, which works for 14.04.3, too. Thanks to bcbc. You trust unofficial, unsigned but fully fixed versions by hakuna_matata which you can find here. Thanks to hakuna_matata. share|improve this answer edited Aug 15 '15 at 13:14 answered Aug 15 '15 at 13:00 ngng 40318 Thanks for your advice! I appreciate it.

I've visited the Ubuntu a few times in the past - but always shied away from trying it out due to how it seemed that I'd either have to delete my Windows XP or do a bunch of complicated stuff. Recently (read: tonight) however I found Wubi, which seems like it would be great. The only problem is that when I tried to install (after choosing username/password, and language) it came up with an error. I will put an image of the error below, and transcribe it into text right after that. -- Ubuntu Installer An error occured: Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO For more information, please see the log file: c:\docume~1\andrewu\locals~1\temp\wubi-10.04-rev189.log -- I tried going to the file it mentioned 'for more information' but couldn't find the docume~1 folder. I apologize for having to bother you folks with what hopefully will turn out to be an easily resolved and silly problem, but I'm quite technologically illiterate, at least when it comes to these type of things. I am running Windows XP Home Edition on an E

When I try to install it by running "wubi.exe", following https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/269918 error occurs while installing with "UBUNTU environment: "CANNOT DOWNLOAD METALINK AND THEREFORE THE ISO" http://www.metalinker.org/samples/ubuntu/ I tried on three different systems, but all face the same problem. I also tried different desktop environment, viz. edubuntu, kubuntu, Ubuntu. It also downloaded more than 2GB file edubuntu-14.04.2-dvd-i386.iso but could not installed.

Do not use it. Resize your NTFS partition and install to the freed space. Making a dual boot system. If you want to try Ubuntu in cannot download the a minimally system changing way then install Virtualbox in Windows and install Ubuntu there to test it. Wubi wasn't even good when development was active Dr U P Singh (upsingh1980) said on 2015-08-02: #2 Hi Please go through the lines deeply. Don't reply with having an overview. You suggested to avoid using wubi.exe but you didn't advised the alternate method to install Ubuntu. The only installer, that I could see in the complete ISO file, is wubi.exe. The total file in ISO download "ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso" can be seen here (screenshot): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0_lc4HmDUVrR1NzSXo3aVJ4ZVU/view?usp=sharing My Laptop is new. 1TB hoard disk is there. Sufficient Disk space (>=90) is empty. Even C drive has 85% (200GB) empty space. Please suggest with complete and clear process, if you know, otherwise, do not try to deviate my question. Thanks in advance. actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666) said on 2015-08-02: #3 Resize the NTFS partition in Windows to make free space. Disk manager can do this Boot to the Ubuntu CD and install to the freed space. The CD you have is bookable, just like when you install Windows. michael (yellupcm-gmail) said on 2015-08-02: #4 Please study these sites. They give step by step information on installing Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8.1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uVcsFhv2Vo http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installin
automatic error correction* with your downloads, or can't use BitTorrent where you are, there's Metalink - which can also help you find a mirror, use mirrors that are closest to you and more efficient, all done automatically. Some Metalink clients can also integrate downloads from mirrors and BitTorrent. You know it's about time you tried out Ubuntu. The latest Metalinks for current versions of Ubuntu are available directly from Canonical. 12.04 LTS 11.10 11.04 10.10 10.04 LTS (Released April 2010) 9.10 (Released October 2009) 9.04 (Released April 2009) 8.10 (Released October 2008) 8.04 (Released April 2008) If you use Firefox (on Windows, Mac, or Unix)... The easiest way to download with Metalink is DownThemAll! (Cross Platform Firefox Extension, Open Source). Just install DTA, then right click the Metalink for the flavor of Ubuntu you want, and select "Start link with OneClick!" If you're on Windows... You can also install a download manager; Free Download Manager (Open Source), wxDownload Fast (Open Source), GetRight, Net Transport, Orbit Downloader, and Retriever work well. (These integrate with Firefox with the FlashGot extension). There's also a Windows version of aria2 and Metalink Checker, both excellent command line downloaders, but they may only be appropriate for those comfortable using non-graphical applications. If you're on Unix... GGet (GTK) is a great download manager for GNOME, unfortunately it is not packaged for Ubuntu yet. If you use KDE4, KGet2 supports Metalink. If you use Ubuntu 7.04 or later, you can install aria2 with 'sudo apt-get install aria2'. Binary packages are available for many other distributions. There's also Retriever and wxDownload Fast, download managers that can be integrated with Firefox with the FlashGot extension. Metalink Checker is another excellent command line downloader. If you're on OS X... Speed Download (Mac) is a slick Download Manager with fast do
