I've been trying to install some intel drivers, but I get an error message. This is the text: 

alberto@alberto-Inspiron-5558:~$ cd Desktop
alberto@alberto-Inspiron-5558:~/Desktop$ chmod a+x kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin
alberto@alberto-Inspiron-5558:~/Desktop$ sudo ./kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin 
./kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin: 1: ./kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS

  alberto@alberto-Inspiron-5558:~$ lsb_release -d 
  Description:  Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
  alberto@alberto-Inspiron-5558:~$ sudo dpkg -s linux-firmware | grep Version 
  Version: 1.157.20

  • What is kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin supposed to be? file kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin Is it supposed to be a shell script? Is it missing the shebang line? head -n 1 kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin. Try bash ./ kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin – waltinator Aug 02 '18 at 20:58
  • In my installation of Ubuntu 18.04, it is already installed in /lib/firmware/i915 What Ubuntu version are you running? lsb_release -d What is the result of: sudo dpkg -s linux-firmware | grep Version Please edit your question to add these results. Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Aug 02 '18 at 21:15
  • @chili555 I've added the results. – Alberto Navarro Aug 03 '18 at 00:14
  • @waltinator Actually, I don't know, I was doing I saw in this post https://askubuntu.com/questions/832524/updated-kernel-to-4-8-now-missing-firmware-warnings – Alberto Navarro Aug 03 '18 at 00:16

While you could download the file and copy it to /lib/firmware, I suggest that you instead upgrade the linux-firmware package. From the terminal:

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.173_all.deb

Notice that you have version 1.157 and this is the much newer 1.173. Install it with:

sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware*.deb

Check to see that it's installed:

ls /lib/firmware/i915

Reboot.

  • I just did that but now when I run sudo apt-get update I get this AppStream system cache was updated, but problems were found: Metadata files have errors: /var/cache/app-info/xmls/fwupd.xml – Alberto Navarro Aug 03 '18 at 02:39
