From my previous Ubuntu experience (8.04 x64), installing drivers form the pop ups is bad.

Its been a 50/50 with me.

I always try it, and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Use teh 64bit method in that guide. Its what I normally do.

I think its an isolated issue with Ubuntu 64bit. Because using the "normal" pop up way has never given me an issue when i was installing drivers on a 32bit machine.

I guess it is...

Anyways, now Ubuntu is telling me it cannot run a *.run file.

I'm slowly, but surely, starting to rage.

Hmm...maybe your install went bad?

How did you set it up?

legoman786 · 05-20-09

I set it up just like the guide said

Did you restore the OS after your previous bad driver install, or did you re-format then reinstall the OS?

It sounds like something got borked up in your OS install, did you hit advanced options and change anything?

I just went with the default settings all the way through the install.

Code:

faaezk@faaezk-desktop:~$ sudo sh ati*.run
[sudo] password for faaezk: 
sh: Can't open ati*.run

That's what my terminal says.

Have you tried to do a wipe and install again?

Every time I install drivers (often because of GUI switching, and when I was using the 9.04 beta) that method ran smoothly.

Yeah I'll try that.

Hopefully everything will go a lot more smooth this time around.

Make sure when you install to go to the advanced options, and set up the install so it has ext4 file system.
Much faster than ext3

I was wondering how to do that. I couldn't find the format options anywhere in the install. I must be blind.
