    Install all drivers in Kubuntu [SOLVED]

    Hi everyone, to make everything fast and simple, I just built me a new pc, and installed Kubuntu 8.04 for the first time, and I have been poking around for a bit but I am new at using linux, which brings me to my question.

    How do I install all the drivers in kubuntu?

    any help is greatly appreciatted.

    and thanks,

    In Ubuntu most stuff works 'out of the box'.
    But depending on the hardware you might have to hunt down something to make wifi, a video or audo card work.

    So pray tell us what you need/ not yet working.

      In Linux a driver either lives in the kernel or can be loaded as a module.

      If the driver is in the kernel, then it should be available.

      If you have to load a module, then you'll use the mod commands, eg depmod, insmod, modprobe, etc.
