In support of Vasya's observation, the issue appeared for me on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS on Ubuntu-shipped VirtualBox (package: virtualbox, version: 6.1.50-dfsg-1~ubuntu1.20.04.1) following a kernel update from linux-image-5.15.0-113-generic to linux-image-5.15.0-116-generic . Reverting back to the previous kernel version (5.15.0-113) does indeed make the error go away.
> Quoting Robie: "posts from people not using Ubuntu (Mint is not Ubuntu and > makes its own changes in ways that Ubuntu developers cannot support)" Please note that Linux Mint users are affected because their packages are built from Ubuntu repositories. The same linux kernel update affected their VirtualBox version 6.x. See: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=424497 Thus, a fix in the Ubuntu-shipped kernel will also solve the problem for Linux Mint users. > Quoting Robie: "not using software from a third party source" The discussed installation of the newer version 7.# of VirtualBox from Oracle (i.e. source code provider for Ubuntu-shipped packages) is a workaround for those who are not willing to revert back to linux- image-5.15.0-113-generic and blacklist newer kernel versions until a fix in kernel is available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073267 Title: Guru meditation on VM start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2073267/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
