Wubi is a great tool which can help you install Ubuntu in Windows without changing partition. I installed Ubuntu by using Wubi. Really easy!

But, after I upgraded Ubuntu and rebooted, there was no Ubuntu login windows. What I saw is a black screen. It said GNU Grub, Minimal Bash-like shell blabla. I have to say I don’t like it, and you won’t, either.

Luckily, it is easy to find a solution. I searched ‘wubi ubuntu gnu grub’ in Google. The author of Wubi showed his solution here :

For a patch/workaround:

A) get the wubildr in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104/comments/90 and copy it over C:\wubildr
B) ensure that when you boot there is no command “insmod ntfs”. Press “e” at the grub boot menu to edit the relevant entry and remove “insmod ntfs” before proceeding

New ubuntu/wubi installations do not contain the patch yet. The patch will only be applied once there is a clear confirmation (from you) that it actually solves the problem. Hence your feedback is appreciated.

Right, that’s it, download that file and copy it over. There are also some other solutions in which you need to type lots of commands in command line. I think, the solution of his, the author of Wubi, is better

Hi, everybody. I decide to change my rss management provider from Feedsky to FeedBurner. I know there is some problems to visit feedburner from China, however, feedburner gives me better service than Feedsky. If this really bother you, please accept my apologize.

This is my new rss link : http://feeds.feedburner.com/kylewu

Most of you use Google Reader. It’s quite easy to subscript feedburner in GR. In the head of Google Reader, there is a button named ‘Add a subscription’. Click it and paste http://feeds.feedburner.com/kylewu into the blank. Then click ‘Add’. That’s all, now you will catch me by using FeedBurner just like Feedsky before.

总的来说就是围绕毕业和出国，下半年没有过多的事情，主要是熟悉国外的生活。希望2010年能给我带来更多的希望。

自Google Chrome推出以来，受到很多人的喜爱。但是以前仅有Windows版本的，不过现在，Google Chrome for Linux终于出现了。这里可以下载到。感觉速度真的很快，比Firefox强很多。之前我已经使用过Chromium一段时间，不过苦于没有扩展，所以一直没有放弃firefox。但是现在，有相当多扩展可以下载和使用，是时候放弃Firefox了。

LifeHacker介绍了18款扩展，我没有全部使用，只使用了一部分，这里做个简要介绍。

Xmarks for Chrome Beta, 这款扩展我不多说了，我一直没有放弃Firefox的主要原因就是它。它可以同步书签到网络上，免去了备份书签的困扰。

Google Alerter,提示GMail, Google Wave和Google Reader的未读数目。代替了Firefox下GMail Notifier等扩展。

ChromeMilk,专门针对Remember the milk的扩展，Remember the milk是一个GTD网站。

主要是这三个插件，当然还有针对twitter，flickr, delicious等的插件，具体请到LifeHacker上自行查找，链接在这里。
