I did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 but I can't install Catalyst. When I try to install the driver it displays an error that there is no compatible adapter. I tried it with the stable and the beta driver. Any clues?

I am planning on doing a fresh install of Ubuntu and want to know what is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Driver?      There are multiple valid answers for this question spanning over several versions of Ubuntu. For your convenience an index of each below:

I bought this network adapter from Amazon and I don't know how to install the drivers. The adapter comes with a CD for drivers and when I put it in, it has .autorun.exe autorun.ico autorun.csp, and autorun.inf.  I know that it supports Linux because when I installed them on my Windows (Dual-boot) it asked me if I wanted to Linux drivers, Mac, or Windows.

I seen many times how people describe how to's about LBP-2900, and 10-12 steps from start to end of how to download, unpack, build driver, fix driver, make it work... Could be there some .deb package with ready-to-go driver for Ubuntu? This printer is very popular...

I am looking for a driver for the TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U Nano, on Kubuntu 18.04 (kernel version 4.15.0-51-generic).   I already tried different drivers, none of them worked.

On Ubuntu 12.04 my Sony Vaio VPCSE with Intel® HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M worked fine with the Catalyst Control Center version 12.6. Also the switching between integrated and discrete graphic card was working.  In both cases, I followed this .  But it is not working on Ubuntu 12.10.   I tested the tutorial with the Catalyst Control Center from the Ubuntu Software Center, the version 12.8 and version 12.9. Always the same problem: After installation process I am able to boot in the login-screen. But after entering the password for my username, only the background-image appears. Unity seems not to be starting. I am only able to reach the context-menu by right clicking the mouse button.  I also tried , but is also does not work for me.  Any ideas what to do to fix this problem?   Update: Same problem on Ubuntu 13.04!  Update: Solution for 13.04 ist not working on Ubuntu 13.10!

This is the third reinstall of Ubuntu 14.04 I have done today.  I just bought a laptop with an Core i3 processor and an Nvidia GeForce GT 840M graphics card.  I have installed the Nvidia driver using their .run file, and also following tutorials, and it just doesn't work. When I check in the terminal which GPU I am using it says "i915" instead of "nvidia".

I would like to try a different video display driver, but I'm not sure which one I'm currently using.    What's the simple way to see what driver my system is using currently?

I recently got a wireless adapter (TP-Link Archer T2UH V1). After plugging it in, I found out that the drivers for Linux are not native on Ubuntu. They do, however, have the drivers available for download (in the form of compilable/ makefile). What I am not sure of is how to install these drivers. I know that I need to build the drivers, place things where they need to be, and tie things together with the kernel. I am not sure how to do this, however, and need some help.  TL;DR: I need to know the terminal commands to install these drivers.  Driver/Device info:   Output of lsusb:  Bus 003 Device 004: ID 148f:761a Ralink Technology, Corp.

My PC has both Ubuntu and Windows 7 installed. I have installed all my drivers in Windows like Nvidia graphics, motherboard etc. Shall I install them in Ubuntu too?  I looked on the web for my Nvidia drivers and I have found a .run file. How could I install it on my Ubuntu?

I've been using the Linksys USB6300 Adapter but when I switched to Ubuntu it stopped working since its only compatible with Windows. I've tried using ndiswrapper and although it says my windows driver is installed, my device isn't showing up. Anyone know how I could get this wireless network adapter working?

all. I'm trying to fix my system so I can install the nvidia drivers but it seems to get stuck for some reason. I have tried manually removing the downloaded files from   /var/cache/apt/archives/libnvidia-gl-390_390.48-0ubuntu3_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libnvidia-gl-390_390.48-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb   ... in order to let them download again but to no avail.

I just ordered the Nvidia GTX card. I have a dilemma, though. Should I keep using the driver which is available in "additional drivers" in Ubuntu, or should I install the driver from the Nvidia site?  So which driver is the best for me?

I'm aware there's already been  regarding Nvidia drivers, but my case is a little different. My wireless adapter's driver is proprietary, and for a minimal install, I need a command to install it. A general command for any other restricted driver that I may come across in the future would also be extremely helpful.

I downloaded the Nvidia driver for Linux from the official Nvidia website to install in my laptop. It is a file named NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.67.run. How to install this file?
