Any Linux People to help?
#1

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?

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

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:
braeden@ubuntu:~/Desktop/short/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100625$ ./clean

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.
