Just a quick note... after installing the new updates Ubuntu told me to report and all in did was next, next, next, OK.
I have no idea what the bug is about, i am a basic Ubuntu user.
Computer restarted as requested and it works with no difference as before.
Started Virtual Box.. and got this as a result (no clue what it means).
I am a little surprised that this installation of an update went wrong... probably no testing on Virtual Box?
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init. d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
