Question

I have installed the last update I receive for my ubuntu 22.04 Then Virtualbox could not start my VM I get this message:

he VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

trying to reinstall virtualbox-dkms i get an error. I decide to remove Virtual box but I cannot uninstall above package.

Can someone give me some hint on how to solve this issue?

I see the following crash report:
