I have a problem installing NVidia drivers. It gives me an output that i'm possibly missing firmware in i915.
. And when I try it through software sources it gives me pk-client-error-quark: error while installing package: subproces from package intramfs-tools script post-intallation returned errorvalue 1 (313).
So I downloaded firmware from enter link description here. And I unpacked the tarball. But don't know how to reinstall the i915 package. Please tell me how to install this.
It also won't fully install the Xorg driver ( same errorvalue 1 (313)).
I think I need to reinstall the i915 package in order to install the nvidia drivers correctly. But I'm not sure.
Does anybody have a solution for me how to solve this.

The update today gave me the 5.11.0-43 Kernel, so after the download I did a 'update-grub'. But I see it didn't make the initrd.img.
The DKMS status however, I don't know, doesn't give me any output. Is it a file, if so, what is it called ( I searched for dkms status and did not find it ).
Edit 211217
I uninstalled the kernel 5.11.0-43 because it appeared to be not installed the right way.

I got the Liqourix kernels after seeing a Chris Titus video on youtube. Can't remember how I got them though. As you can see I keep 2 newer kernels, 2 Liqourix and 2 original Kubuntu kernels. Now I'm using the 5.11.0-41. I got the newer kernels after reading on a forum that they had more driver for fingerprint readers. The Synaptics fp-reader is still not working though. ( No problem. )
