when you say 'chmod +x <x86_version of Nvidia>'
do you mean chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08.pkg1.run?
i done those other commands then that and it came up 'Cannot access NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08.pkg1.run: no such file or directory'
still no luck

It means that file is not in the path. Delete all Nvidia files from Desktop and save NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08.pkg1.run on Desktop. Execute those commands again.
Type chmod +x NVIDIA and hit TAB key twice. It will complete filename itself.
In case nothing works, execute this
Post output here.Code:cd /home/marc/Desktop ls cat /etc/lsb-release

where did you download the installer to? you have to use the command 'cd' to go to the directory it is downloaded to
then you do
all you have to do is start to type NVIDIA and then use tab button to complete that way you don't worry about incorrectly typing it inCode:sudo sh NVIDIA...whatever.run

while in your /home/mark/Desktop folder execute this
like I said, the best way is to start typing NVIDIA then use the tab button on the keyboard to autocomplete it, case mattersCode:sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run
