Ubuntu/Sudo

[Mr TRiot]

So here's my issue...

I downloaded the linux driver for my ATI Radeon x1300 and when I double click it and it starts up. It extracts it and says I need to be on the "master user". So, now I have to go through the command prompt to "sudo" and then attempt to execute the file through the command prompt.

Think anyone can help?

open a console
cd to the directory with the installer
chmod +x whatever_the_filename_is
sudo ./whatever_the_filename_is
put in your pw

[Mr TRiot]

Ahhh. So you need to "chmod" before "sudo"? Hmm!

[shwaip]

you might not. it makes it executable, if not already.

[Mr TRiot]

That would make sense. Since when I tried to do it the first time It said it wasn't an executable in the command prompt...

Thanks dude :)

Ubuntu should be able to pull in the ATI driver. Try looking under "System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers"
