Dear sirs,
please see the attached screenshot.
Installing the kernel of the next ubuntu release was successful I guess
because my current kernel is Linux 2.6.32.11 generic.
But while i was watching the installation operation on terminal i saw
that two operations recorded fail i think it was with agrsm
I can't thank you enough for helping me.

Manually you can get from
http://ubuntu.mirrors.isu.net.sa/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/
linux-image-2.6.32-11-generic_2.6.32-11.15_i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.32-11-generic_2.6.32-11.15_i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.32-11_2.6.32-11.15_all.deb
Under Linux within the same folder as (say your /home/Name folder)
$ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
Then reboot with the 2.6.32-11-generic kernel
