Hi. I got this topic on ubuntu forums but it seems impossible to get replies:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594535

So that's my issue.

And I tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534918 but I always get the error, In the terminal I get unknown command zxvf.

I am compleatly new to Linux and I need some help. Seems like a perfect gameless OS but all I need is my wireless stick working.

"tar zxvf" is a command to extract a gzipped tarball on Linux, can you copy paste the exact error you are receiving?

It says zxvf: command not found when I type: ">tar zxvf download.tar"

But can't I just extract the file with the built in extractor?


So what I'm suppose to do:

>tar zxvf download.tar.gz - Ok its already extracted
>cd download - when I type this it says "download: command not found"
>make - Not here yet
>./clean - Not here yet

My folders are on the desktop. Are they suppose to be?

Are you typing ">"? You're not supposed to type that if you are.

Ok now I'm getting "no such file or directory." Where is the files suppose to be. They are currently on the desktop.

Код:

cd /home/USER_NAME/Desktop
tar zxvf download.tar.gz
cd /home/USER_NAME/Desktop/download/

I do believe.

If he is logged into the account that has the file on their desktop, he could also use

Код:

 cd ~/Desktop

.

But yes, as stated above, cd to the location of the tar.gz, and run that command. Do not add the ">"

Got past compiling I think. Hope those tons of warnings are nothing.

Anyways when I try to do "./clean" as mentioned from the linux forums I get:

Код:

Eiether way I do have the final 8712u.ko file. Now I'm pissed. On the thread it says now my thing recognizes my wireless yet mine has done absolutely nothing! I feel like I should just trash Linux and give up.
