.deb to .rpm
I am using Ubuntu 7.10
i want to install some drivers, and i have obtained the drivers from the company's website. The problem is, Ubuntu runs with .deb, but the drivers provided are .rpm what should i do? i have tried searching for the .deb drivers in Synamptic Package Manager, but no result thank you very much |
You would probably give some useful information about what drivers you were looking for, what the company's website was, etc., etc.

To convert rpm to deb you can try alien: install it by Synaptic, then from the command line issue
Code:
alien name_of_package.rpm |
You can follow this guide,but if there was tar.gz or similar package,I suggest that you download that package and compile it.

Ya, I wouldn't be too hopeful about alien on a driver package. But if you tell us what driver you are trying to install, I am pretty sure one of us will know where you can get a .deb for it.
