[06:23] how do i get higher resolutions? [06:32] Guest89512: do you have the proper drivers? [06:32] I doudt it, how do I check...tried installing from nvidia but not sure how to make it work what to do [06:33] Is it a new installation? [06:33] You could check restricted drivers [06:33] Go to the menu -> system -> additional drivers [06:34] where is menu? lol [06:34] Is it a command line install? [06:34] got it [06:34] oh [06:35] no its not command line [06:35] im just prety new [06:35] :) [06:36] once i get to aditional drivers then what? [06:36] Check if there are any from nvidia there [06:36] I guess they want you to enter your root passw [06:37] it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system? [06:38] Hm, okay [06:38] Well, you said you had downloaded the drivers? [06:38] I may have [06:38] Okay, i guess its a sh script? [06:38] I went to nvidia and download what i thought were the drivers [06:39] okay [06:39] saved em to cmp but dont know how to use them [06:39] open a terminal [06:39] and cd to the location where the drivers was downloaded [06:39] probably cd ~/Downloads [06:39] I used to code a littel in HS but Im totaly new to this terinal thing [06:40] :) [06:40] I'm glad you're happy, becuase seems like not too many ppl want to help [06:41] what does cd meen? [06:41] change directory [06:42] when you are in downloads (if the drivers are located there) [06:42] type: chmod +x NV then press TAB to get the fullname [06:42] press enter [06:43] ok is this in terminal or gui [06:43] terminal [06:44] you could go it with gui [06:44] terminal says there is no such file or directory that is downloads or download [06:44] but its just faster to do it in the terminal [06:44] Im in gui file downloads [06:44] Guest89512: did you type ~/Downloads? [06:44] and i have this file [06:44] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run [06:44] ok [06:44] right click it [06:44] Properties [06:45] ok [06:45] set it to executable in permissions i guess [06:45] wait [06:45] Guest89512: do this [06:46] right click in the folder [06:46] "open terminal" [06:46] that'll open a terminal in that folder [06:46] then type chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run [06:46] my syntax was off before by the way...had it open in original terminal [06:46] oh [06:47] after you did that [06:47] you can install the drivers by typing [06:47] ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run [06:48] hmmm maybe I messed something up [06:48] what happened? [06:49] chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run [06:49] thats correct [06:49] To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo ". [06:49] See "man sudo_root" for details. [06:49] jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ chmod +x [06:49] chmod: missing operand after `+x' [06:49] Try `chmod --help' for more information. [06:49] jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run [06:49] jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.19.run [06:49] bash: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.19.run: No such file or directory [06:49] jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ ^C [06:49] ok [06:49] jackal@ubuntuxubtuntutest1:~/Downloads$ [06:49] you typed the wrong name [06:49] chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.19.run [06:50] wait [06:50] Guest89512: to get the right name [06:50] You can type NV then press tab [06:50] and the fullname will pop up [06:50] also type [06:51] sudo ./NV and tab [06:51] after that [06:51] I feel dumb [06:51] no its alot to take in [06:51] This is just a one time thing [06:51] :) [06:51] so under downloads in terminal [06:51] type what? [06:52] ok [06:52] type chmod +x NV then press tab and then enter [06:52] ok [06:52] ok [06:52] now type [06:52] sudo ./NV then tab [06:52] and enter [06:53] ok [06:53] is it installing? [06:53] hi!
