ok, even though i did use linux a couple times before, Im still a noob, so deal with me a little. Im just setting my rig up for seti@home and maybe some web browsing, and I got that all set up, so hopefully this would be both my first and last question. Basically, I have Ubuntu 6.10. I need to install the drivers for my graphics card, and it says I need super user rights. I searched google, and it said enter su "username", enter, enter password. Im the only user on the system, so I entered my username and password. nothing. I know Im doing something right, because when i enter something different, it says, su:authentication failure, sorry. any ideas?
And yes, I know I should have researched this before installing linux, but winders died and this was the only thing i could do until I got my winders cd back.
