Executing a .run file on Ubuntu 9.10 Solved

Question

Hello,

I would like to know how to execute a .run program on Ubuntu 9.10 (these are the drivers for my graphics card).

Ubuntu is trying to open it with Wine, but I can't find the "installation interpreter" as it were, to choose the default application.

Configuration: Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) Google Chrome 4

Hi,

Open a terminal, go to the directory where your .run is located, check that it is executable (ls -l), if not, make it executable:

chmod u+x your_program.run

and run it:

sudo ./your_program.run

$ man woman
There is no manual page for woman.

Hello,

I just installed Linux Ubuntu and also downloaded the driver for my graphics card, which is in .run format.
Since I'm a beginner, I absolutely didn't understand what you said.
What is a terminal?
How do I know if my file is ls-1?

Thank you in advance!

To access the terminal, you do:
Applications / Accessories / Terminal
then a new challenge, you must go to the directory where the driver you downloaded is located using the command cd, for example, if it is in the Downloads folder
cd /home/YourName/Downloads

then you follow the instructions mentioned above.

Hi,

To open the terminal, you can also press ALT+F2, and in the window that opens, type gnome-terminal

Once you've successfully opened the terminal, we will try to find where your file is located.
To do this, you will type the following command in your terminal (command line)

find $HOME -name '*.run'

You must respect the spaces and the capitalization
