Foxrac,
Here it is. Have you tried that? I googled and extracted and paste it from Ubuntu forum "tips and trick" on "how to install anything on Ubuntu".
How to install a .run file
For those of you that have been using Ubuntu for a while, you probably already know this. I'm posting this for the newbies that download a game installer in .run format and have no idea what to do with it.
How to Install a .run File:
For this How To I am going to be using the dummy name "example.run". You should replace this with the name of the file you are trying to install.
1. Open a terminal. In Gnome the terminal is found in Applications>Accessories>Terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory of the .run file. For this example, I have mine on the desktop so I would type in "cd ~/Desktop" and press enter.
3. Type "chmod +x example.run" (press enter).
4. Now type "./example.run", press enter, and the installer will run.
replace "example.run" to file that you downloaded from Nvidia
Be sure that in Terminal, you logged as Root user (sudo -s)
try it. You're very close to get it fixed!
If I were there with you, I would be happy to assist you
