Ubuntu MATE only runs in live session

[Hien14307]

Using rev345 with local iso file ubuntu-mate-22.04.2-desktop-amd64 (already checked file integrity) First reboot and the installation process asks me to manually install so I rebooted the system and entered wubi again. Ubuntu persistently only runs in live session afterwards. Update: turns out the wubi executable was corrupt, redownloaded and during the installation it showed executing grub-install /dev/sda failed error along with No root file system is defined afterwards I installed it on E: (an extended partition)

I installed it on E: (an extended partition)

On Windows wubi executable can use the drive name E: to create a configuration for Ubuntu (Mate) on that drive. The second part of installation runs on live environment of Ubuntu (Mate) and uses that configuration.

As second part does not use Windows environment, it is necessary that Windows drive E: is available for Linux driver. Of course, the drive name for Linux drivers is not "E:"

So maybe, we can fix it if we know the Linux name of your drive and partition. Can you run the live sessions with "Demo mode" see here

In "Demo mode" you can check the Linux view of your partitions.....

sudo parted -l

.....and the Linux view of your current file system.....

df -h

--- and the position of the Wubi root disk......

ls -l /isodevice/ubuntu/disks/root.disk

Maybe, we can add a new device name to Wubiuefi configuration.

Note: "Demo mode" also provides all tools of a live environment of a standard Ubuntu Mate including installer. But that installer does not use Wubi configuration. So you cannot use it if you want Ubuntu with Wubi configuration.
