Hi Penelope, If you look further up the page on the link you included you'll see it states that the Google drivers are only used when connecting to certain devices. You didn't state what device you have but you probably need drivers from the device's manufacturer (Motorola, Samsung, Htc, etc.) You also don't need drivers to develop with the emulator.
To connect to Ubuntu you don't need drivers but you do need to edit/ create a file so that Ubuntu knows how to talk to the device.
