About a week and a half ago I tried to update from 12.04 to 12.10 doing the sequential upgrades to get to the new OS 13.1. I downloaded 12.1 from the software center which I've been told since that the SFC was not the best place to download an upgrade. The system took a long time to download but when it finished and rebooted it stuck on a black screen. So on google in search of answers I go, what I found was this page
My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
the 4th problem on that page sounds like the issue I'm having so I followed the instructions in it, after I do a nomodeset and and ctrl + x there is a bit of a load screen, some commands flashing on the screen, then I see user log in. I log in and at this point if I was reading the solution page correctly I need to in install my graphics driver, ok, so I go here to learn how to do that from the terminal, since I am not a command line power user (I hardly know what it is).
Can I install extra drivers via the command prompt?
I do "jockey-text --list" and what is returned is that jockey, or jockey-text is not a command or program..so basically I think I know the problem (I don't have a graphics driver) I just need help getting that downloaded and installed to my PC. this is all I know about my laptops hardware

Also If it is of any value, I did try to reinstall ubuntu before I learned that it was a driver issue, at this time my computer will not load anything from the CD or USB drives...is that related to the issues I'm having or is that a BIOS issue? help me please and thank you.
