I recently made a linux box and installed 32bit Ubuntu 13.04 by accident, at that time the AMD drivers worked flawlessly. As soon as I installed the 64-bit version I began getting Super-User errors, I check the forum on it and it did not help me because I don't know what the Gnome menu is or how to access, please help me and forgive my ignorance.

What are these "Super-User" errors ? You have to provide more info about those errors. A screenshot would be helpful.– NickTuxOct 22, 2013 at 22:33

I launch the .run file, it asks me for my password (never happened in 32bit), I enter in the password and a window pops up and says "You need to run this installer as the super-user." This is confusing to me because I am the main account on the computer.– AndrewDachsOct 22, 2013 at 23:39

I also Installed 13.10 64bit before and had the same problem and thought there was just no support because of how new it is– AndrewDachsOct 22, 2013 at 23:53

I have found out that all you need to do is force install from terminal. I feel so dumb facepalm.

1Exactly how do I force a install? Can you be more detailed both in the answer and the question?– BraiamNov 21, 2013 at 3:03

Sorry, my issue was that my amd catalyst drivers would not work so I ran it from terminal, then I found out that just running it made .log file that made the driver think there was an old driver there so it would not install over it.The only way I could install was to 'sudo /location of the file/drivername.run --force' which forced the .log to be deleted and the driver to be installed and then my driver worked, I have no Idea why I had a .log in there after deleting the driver in the first place Nov 23, 2013 at 3:45

Don't use comments to explain to "me" but edit your answer/question to explain it better.– BraiamNov 23, 2013 at 13:46
