Executing a .run file on Ubuntu 9.10

Thank you jipicy!!!
your answer is helpful to me even 3 years after this topic :)

Thank you, it works. Message marked as resolved!

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
