Like Lee I am new to Ubuntu and I don't know how to get past one problem. When I type: cd ~/Downloads everything appears to be fine, and then I type sudo mkdir /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ because the directory doesn't exist and get this message : <br />mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/': No such file or directory<br />I tried typing the commands you listed but still get the message that this directory doesn't exist. What should I do? Thanks in advance, Mina.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207568051458164008.post-10948343609222101072012-07-30T01:45:53.278-07:002012-07-30T01:45:53.278-07:00sudo mkdir /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/

I don't what version of Ubuntu you are using, but you are looking for a terminal (a command line where you can type stuff)<br />In Gnome you click on the Gnome(start) button and go to accessories, then terminal. in unity I think you can just type terminal in the bar (I don't use it.. too slow and weird for me)<br /><br />after you have downloaded, chrome puts stuff in ~/Downloads, so you just would type cd ~/Downloads then hit enter. the ~ just means "my home directory/folder"<br /><br />Then just type all the commands I listed. The sudo part just means "do this as an administrator" it is kinda a safeguard so that you don't so bad things to system related stuff on accident. <br /><br />If you need more help just let me know.<br /> ScottScott Goodgamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568396398633207240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207568051458164008.post-17056339699681679352012-04-22T01:53:30.601-07:002012-04-22T01:53:30.601-07:00Hi Scott, I'm new to Ubuntu so just finding my...Hi Scott, I'm new to Ubuntu so just finding my feet.
