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

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.
