script given in the decompressed tar.gz
. UbuntuMATE is running on a Raspberry Pi 2.

As I'm new to Linux in general, I have no idea as to where to go from here, so I'd appreciate any help. If you need any more information, just ask and I'll post it.

?) And where did you get your driver installation script? Try reinstallmake
, installbuild-essential
,checkinstall
and try again. – McSinyx Jul 31 '15 at 2:49rtl8721
. Runninguname -r
gives3.18.0-20-rpi2
. The issue with installing from apt-get is that requires internet connection, something I'm trying to get to work. – HarryCBurn Jul 31 '15 at 13:26
