Hi Ronss,

Provided that you seem to have a 64-bit OS, I guess your are installing the 64-bit driver. "cd" to the right directory and then "ls" to check whether or not the name of the actual file matches with the one your are typing ;-)

Currently it should be NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run

(notice that extra "_64")
