SuperEmostastix Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Just installed Ubuntu 9.10, first time using it and I have a few questions. I downloaded my graphics drivers but when I click run in terminal, it says I need to be super-user. How do I fix this? Do I have to log-in to my admin account, download the drivers again, install it on that account then switch back? I tried going to terminal and putting sudo -i then put in the admin pass but still didn't work? Also my sound drivers for creative sound blaster extreme gamer? No idea how to install them ? I have a folder full of files and don't know what do to. What do I have to do in the terminal The folder name is XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz? Please HELP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseMan42 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 What brand of video card do you have? As far as the sound card, tar.gz is similar to a zip file. At the terminal, go into the directory where that is located and type tar -xvf XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz After that I'm not sure as I've never installed sound drivers.
