Diagnostics:
  The currently running kernel version is not the expected kernel version 6.8.0-38-generic.

Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled automatically, so you should consider rebooting.

No services need to be restarted.

No containers need to be restarted.

No user sessions are running outdated binaries.

No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.
