Update Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1006-raspi 6.8.0-1006.6 linux-image-6.8.0-1007-ibm 6.8.0-1007.7 linux-image-6.8.0-1008-nvidia 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-6.8.0-1008-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-6.8.0-36-generic 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-6.8.0-36-generic-64k 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-6.8.0-36-lowlatency 6.8.0-36.36.1 linux-image-6.8.0-36-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-36.36.1 linux-image-generic 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-generic-64k 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-generic-lpae 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-ibm 6.8.0-1007.7 linux-image-ibm-classic 6.8.0-1007.7 linux-image-ibm-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1007.7 linux-image-kvm 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-lowlatency 6.8.0-36.36.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-36.36.1 linux-image-nvidia 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-raspi 6.8.0-1006.6 linux-image-virtual 6.8.0-36.36 linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-36.36 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
