I get an error "Can't find package XFree86-mesa"

How do I install a .rpm file?

[joe12]

you could try a rmp

[joelw135]

you could try a rmp

I have no idea what you mean, I found XFree86-mesa-lib in an rpm package only.

[joe12]

sorry .rpm

[joe12]

you could install your diver by  using envyng
1)install it by going to the terminal & typing sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-qt

2)next Go to Applications->SystemTools->EnvyNG.
3)You can easily install the driver by select the recommended one and click on Apply

4)Alternatively,type this command in terminal:envyng -t

[joe12]

but rpm will not work because ubuntu is a DEB biased os -

I installed the above an ran it. It showed the ATI/8.660-Oubuntu4 enabled, but an "X" next to compatible and "X" next to recommended.

I think it is time to give up as that will not install. It is for i386.

 final  leg :
hope-fully  you now should have all the package's and you can reinstall your driver by:
1)using envyng
2) or using the shell script which you downloaded
3) or you could  wait for 10:04

just a summery so we know were we are ?
are you 32or64bit ?

I am on 32bit envyng didn't show a compatible driver the shell script didn't work so waiting is the only thing left. I hope 10.04 comes soon.
