no ubuntu user here so I just heard from this by your post. After looking stuff up like wth Canonical took a big L there. Any chance for you to roll back to 6.17?

Yah man, thanks! Really frustrating, they pushed the 7 kernel to Ubuntu 24.04 systems, which broke their own package maintained version of Virtual Box, which many of us rely on. I was able to boot into 6.8 and then block apt from upgrading to the 7 kernel. Was an annoying waste of an hour though.

Virtual Box just needs an update to the latest version, it is the same also on Mint which is based on Ubuntu 24.04. As a rule, new VB versions are released when new kernels are available.
