Title:
  firmware for linux kernel drivers cannot install

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello, 
  I bought dell inspiron 3537 with ubuntu pre-installed. Immediately after turning on, ubuntu updated. First, I lost my wireless connection but could connect by a cable. I managed to fix that, but now it says that it has downloaded firmware for Linux kernel drivers but cannot install them. In details the following message is shown:

  I am really new to ubuntu and this whole process is new to me, so I think I might have messed up somewhere. What should I do to fix this? 
  Everything else works fine. I mean, the whole system works fine apart for this installation process.
