linux newbie needs help

darcw0lf · 04-26-06, 04:20 PM

Im finally making the jump to linux, and am already encountering problems, Im using ubuntu, and I have installed everything, but when it tries to boot up its telling me there is no support for my video card and putting me back at a command prompt. (Im using a 6100) I went to nvidia's website on another pc, downloaded the linux driver, but now I don't know how to install it. I have the driver on a jump drive and don't know how to access the file from command prompt, any help would be appretiated.
