The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1008-gke 6.8.0-1008.11 linux-image-6.8.0-1010-ibm 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-6.8.0-1010-oem 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-6.8.0-1011-nvidia 6.8.0-1011.11 linux-image-6.8.0-1011-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1011.11 linux-image-6.8.0-1012-gcp 6.8.0-1012.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1013-aws 6.8.0-1013.14 linux-image-6.8.0-40-generic 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-6.8.0-40-generic-64k 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1013.14 linux-image-gcp 6.8.0-1012.13 linux-image-generic 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-generic-64k 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-generic-lpae 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-gke 6.8.0-1008.11 linux-image-ibm 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-ibm-classic 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-ibm-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-kvm 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-nvidia 6.8.0-1011.11 linux-image-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1011.11 linux-image-oem-24.04 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-oem-24.04a 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-virtual 6.8.0-40.40 linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-40.40 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1011-nvidia 6.8.0-1011.11~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1011-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1011.11~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-6.8 6.8.0-1011.11~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1011.11~22.04.1 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.
