Hi,

running ubuntu VERSION="22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"


My vm's in virtualbox crash and restart. Virtualbox forums say I should update to a newer virtualbox, becuase of a newer kernel.
My virtualbox is Version 6.1.34_Ubuntu r150636

Apparently I should update to a newer version. But to do that I should do so by hand. I prefer to use apt-get so ubuntu decides what updates get onto my host.

Questions:
  • Is there a reason ubuntu package manager do not upgrade the current virtualbox version on their platform?
  • According to some forum I should upgrade by doing dpkg -i since
  • https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... _amd64.deb

but if I upgrade by hand wont that inter-fear with later upgrades?
