VMs not working after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04

Post by uzzo »

Hi everybody,

My VMs are not working anymore after having upgraded from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. I went thru a lot of topics and tried many things, mainly:
-) disabled secure boot;
-) updated to a more recent kernel (6.2.0-060200-generic)
-) tried to install different versions, namely virtualbox 6.1.38 and 7.0.6;

but nothing! kernel modules and modprobe vboxdrv keep failing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I'd suggest uninstall Virtualbox, reboot, redo the prerequisites https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq then get Virtualbox for 22.04 from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
