http://www.linuxforums.org – Strange. I use Easy Peasy as a Live DVD and I can get the drivers to install when I run the hardware drivers app. Once I installed the OS on my hard disk I can't get the driver to install. It says no proprietary drivers present. Any thoughts? I've installed all the updates. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Easy Peasy won't install wireless drivers after HD install.

Dear all,

I'm not brilliant with computers but I am a big linux fan. I installed easy peasy on my eee PC 901 and feeling nervous I did the install alongside an existing windows installation. You guessed it, I now never use windows.

However, I have run out of space on the easy peasy installation on the HDD. I do not have anything I need to keep on the Windows partition.

ATI Catalyst drivers slowness 1 year 16 weeks ago

I have managed to install the drivers, but after installing those drivers moving different windows such as browser is very laggy.

Why is that? I also tried older drivers, but they all have the same problem. I have ATI Radeon HD5850.

I installed this driver: AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my lenovo laptop and found a "chip" image on the top of the screen. It showed me to install 3 drivers

When I installed 1st one, it showed me some error so, I installed 2nd one it was successful.

Hi. I've seen this problem, or similar, been posted on the forum earlier. I also know that is not a good line to start a new thread with.

Laptop: HP Pavillion tx1020, broadcom 4312, nVidia gf go 6150 graphics. OS: Clean installed Ubuntu 9.10, downloaded yesterday.

I had 9.04 on my HP Pavilion DV6570, everything worked fine until I decided to install 9.10. I installed a fresh setup and now I can't use my broadcom wireless, when I go to Hardware drivers to enable proprietary drivers there is nothing to activate, no wireless driver, no graphic driver!

Sorry, I know there are dozens of threads titled "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system," but none of them answered my question. Most of them centered around nVidia drivers.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire AM3970. I can't for the life of me get the wireless to work.

When I was using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I could install the proprietary driver from the specific menu from the settings but since I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2 it can't find any proprietary drivers. I know where the menu is now in transferred (Software Sources > Additional Drivers tab) so don't think that is the reason.

How could I install proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 12.10?

Thanks

OK so I just got Ubuntu the other month or so. I'm running the 11.04 version currently and trying to install drivers for a Nvidia graphics card (it's my brother's computer and he currently cannot find the number of the card right now). I read that, to install the proper drivers for gaming, I would need to go into "Additional Drivers" and choose them myself.

Where do proprietary drivers go? I’m running 10.04 LTS. It says there are no proprietary drivers available. The driver I want to install came in a folder named hybrid-portsrc_x86_32 followed by -v5_100_82_112. (The contents of this folder are folders named lib and src and a file named Makefile.) Where should it go in my Ubuntu folders, so it shows up on the Hardware Drivers list?
