Virtualbox - VM can't start after OS software update

 

 

Executing 'modprobe vboxdrv' didn't work:

zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/6.5.0-14-generic

 

Had to remove Virtualbox 6.1 and install Virtualbox 7.0:

zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo apt remove virtualbox

 

 

 

zzh@ZZHPC:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-7.0_7.0.12-159484~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb

 

Imported the VM and it can start normally.

 

 Same issue occurred again after 7 months:

 

Uninstall:

zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo apt remove virtualbox-7.0
zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo dpkg --remove virtualbox-7.0
zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo dpkg --purge virtualbox-7.0

zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo dpkg --remove virtualbox
zzh@ZZHPC:~$ sudo dpkg --purge virtualbox

 

Download the latest version and reinstall:

zzh@ZZHPC:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-7.0_7.0.20-163906~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb

The latest version works well.
