Hello,
This bug has been affecting me, so I tested the following on my PC
running Ubuntu 24.04. Version info etc. at the end of the message.
- Enabled 'proposed' source (pocket) via Updates settings GUI, developer options
- $ sudo apt update
- $ sudo apt install virtualbox/noble-proposed
- $ sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms/noble-proposed # Could have put them in
the same command probably
- $ sudo apt upgrade
- Powered off PC, then powered on and booted into 6.17.0-19-generic (as is
default)
- Booted up a VirtualBox guest VM
All seems to work OK now. No more kernel panic on the 6.17 as the kernel
modules build & installation was successful.
Thank you for the fix and information!
