  • I would advice sticking to the additional drivers tab in software sources, Ubuntu Software Center and files ending on .DEB. .RUN files might be a bit too much if you are not comfy with terminal commands ;) – Rinzwind Apr 27 '13 at 09:46

Press the super key and search for terminal...

enter image description here

and activate it ...

Now type or copy/paste these lines one by one (so pressing enter after each line):

cd ~/Downloads 
chmod +x amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run

the 1st 2 commands will show nothing when executed. The last one will ask for your admin password and then show a lot of lines. Watch out for errors :)

Where does your webbrowser store downloaded files? When using your webbrowser, did you download the run-file in your Downloads folder?

Or is the downloaded file elsewhere? Use the Files program to put the downloaded file in your Downloads folder.

  • he already said it is in "the downloads spot". I took the liberty to assume he means ~/Downloads ;) – Rinzwind Apr 27 '13 at 09:44
