John You seem to ha ve have an alternate Internet access. Please install the packages linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev: with $ sudo apt-get install libc6-dev Otherwise you can get these packages manually through http://packages.ubuntu.com Which may add potentially needed compiling support. Then again try: $ sudo dpkg -i dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-5_i386.deb Please then report back. MarvS RE: I don't know what that last part means and/or how to do it.
