GTX9800+ Graphics Card Ubuntu

[gmacor2]

I am unable to get this card to run in Ubuntu. Any advice out there? I would be grateful and I point out that I am not that technically able.

Cant get it to run how? The gui, a game, etc?

[gmacor2]

The Graphics only run in safe mode settings.

have you installed the drivers?

[gmacor2]

I have downloaded these but I have been unable to install them because of my inexperience on thos OS.

Let me introduce you to the site that will help you TONS.

Absolute Beginner Talk - Ubuntu Forums

There are a few linux guys on this forum, but for the most part nobody is gonna be able to help you. On the other hand, that site I linked to is just for people starting with linux. I almost bet if you do a search, you'll come up with hundreds of posts of people asking the same thing.

But to answer you question, there are a couple different ways.
1.

/etc/init.d/gdm stop

cd to/directory/with/run/script

chmod +x *.run

sudo ./*.run

/etc/init.d/gdm start

looking back on that^, don't think that will work. IDK, haven't tried that way.
or

sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-qt envyng-gtk

EDIT:
