VirtualBox fails on Mint 22.3.  When trying to start the VM with the kvm 
modules removed from the kernel, it doesn't find its driver and says to 
install virtualbox-dkms. Trying to install that fails and says it needs 
virtualbox-source and virtualbox-modules. That also fails.

Note that 22,3 is using the 6.17 kernel.
