Hi, last night I installed Ubuntu 8.10.
For Web there is nothing that anyone need on Ubuntu,it has everything, that's great.
But still too many problems
1. I have downloaded at least 15 drivers for NVidia GeForce 5200 FX, and none of them work.
2. Also I cannt find drivers for CMI8738 sound card.
3. Which codecs to use so I can listen mp3,and watch avi movies.
4. I have this
wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2 .Do I need anythings else for Wine.

Hello and welcome to PCHelpForum.

I am not great at ubuntu but I will try.

THX but I still need to solve 3 problems.
Anyone knows how.

P.S. Is there any chance to save some drivers on disk, not to install them...

I am trying to find info on your other issues but as I said I am not good with Ubuntu.

Let me set your thread as "Open" and others may help with this hopefully.

Oh yes save do disk for the future incase they are needed.

I am looking here for drivers if you wish to do a search also.Sound Card Drivers / Firmware / Download

I found drivers here but unable to download/install them.

Hey let me get help if I can from another Tech.

I am new to this also and it appears to be a little bit of a pain.

But lets keep trying,do not give up yet.

I answered your other post regarding nVidia driver downloads here.

Any other drivers should be available from the Repository which you access from within Ubuntu.

I am not very good with Linux, but there are help forums dedicated to Ubuntu, which you should be able to get some clues from...
