ok. ubuntu is proving to be very difficult.

how the heck do i install drivers, patches, and applications?

sry for all the noobish threads, you can just delete them (except this one lol)

this is very confusing!

you need to allow them to run, linux doesnt have exe extentions so you have to open up a run box and run the file path.

ok well how do i do that?

 

[Chillaxed]

it says to type in "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run" into something which i guess is a terminal but it says no such directory.

EDIT:
ok i typed in "home/josh/desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run" but now it says permission denied

 

[Chillaxed]

ok don't mean to spam but this time i put
sh /home/josh/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run, this time i put sh and it started but then it said there was an error cuz logging is disabled

 

[Chillaxed]

here is a picture of what happens when i run it

how do i run it as a root?

 

[Xaimus]

Use the sudo command:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run

if im not mistaken in the terminal window you have the option of switching to root. do that then run it through there using the same commands as before. xaimus has the right command to get it to run i do think.
