Feb 25, 2018 - Like other versions of Linux, the Kernel and its loadable modules contains the drivers for. How can I install Pychromecast in Linux Mint 18.3? Sep 12, 2013 - Ensure that you are connected to the internet, if you are installing. And after selecting Additional Drivers (or Hardware Drivers in 10.04).
Dharq88 Says: This method can work will work on fedora 6, and with ATI drivers too. For newbs (like myself) “cd enter directory” in the terminal is how to change the directory. Easiest way I found (if you download the driver via another internet-enabled comp) was to cut and paste the “run” file to the desktop – that way it’s only a case of entering: “cd Desktop” instead of remembering or noting down an overly long and complex route-file To make it even more basic (i came from Win32 too) here’s what I entered into a windowed terminal in mint “cd Desktop” then “sh ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x8664.run” (but enter in YOUR driver-name where mine is) The driver then unpacked itself and was ready to roll properly after the next boot. Thanks Dushi for getting me on the right path!
Says: No.you can do this from the terminal it self or you can go to the place where the file is located.as for an example if the file is on your desktop you can go to that place by, cd /home/’user’s name’/Desktop then sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run or you can run the required package by from a single command by giving its absolute path. It will be like this(if the package is on the desktop), sh /home/’user’s name’/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run.hope this is what you wanted to know. Khalid Says: Okay, hello, and thank you a lot for this. It did work, but it was a little bit hard at the beginning since you didn’t give us a lot of information, I had to Google a bit. Since I’m a Linux newbie, I didn’t know how to login from root and it said I only could install that from root. So for all you who are reading this, before doing anything while you’re in the real terminal. You have to type: su And then type your password if you have one, then you’re good to go.
Anyways, I’ve installed my driver and it works good, I even went to check how the screensaver’s work, and they worked pretty faster than before. But, I have two simple problems here I get a black screen when I try to do things. When I start softwares. Or when I’m on fullscreen mode with my screensavers. I don’t know, it just comes to me.black screen. then goes. It’s REALLY annoying,.black screen.
and so on. Do you know what causes this? Okay, my second problem is. Display Preferences is not detecting that I have an NVIDIA driver, and it’s acting like there is no graphics card. It goes like; Monitor: Unknown Refresh rate: 50 Hz And it’s confusing me, but, I know that I can edit things like that in my NVIDIA X Server Settings, but, I want to know what is causing my Display Preferences to act like that? If you’re there, and if you still exist.
Please help me, thank you. Says: @Khalid 01.
Hi yeah I do exist! About the black screen.
According to my knowledge it has to be something with the “Refresh rate”. But I’m sure you already changed it and tested it with new rates. Sometimes there are problems in identifying hardware in Linux. Most of the time It depends on the distribution your using. I really cant give a specific answer for that. Maybe your not using the correct driver version. I’m really happy you figured things out by your self which is the hard way.
