Error setting up VirtualBox on Ubuntu 22.04: modprobe vboxdrv failed

$

I am trying to set up VirtualBox on Ubuntu 22.04 by running the command:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox vagrant

The installation was completed successfully, However, at the end of the installation, I encountered the following error:

Job for virtualbox.service failed because the control process exited with an error code.See "systemctl status virtualbox.service" and "journalctl -xeu virtualbox.service" for details.invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.× virtualbox.service - LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/virtualbox; generated)     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2024-02-03 03:00:32 EET; 26ms ago       Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)    Process: 26909 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/virtualbox start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)        CPU: 129ms...

The error message suggests that loading the VirtualBox kernel modules failed with the message modprobevboxdrv failed. Please use dmesg to find out why

Can someone help me figure out why and how to fix it? I have Ubuntu 22.04.1

vboxmanage --versionWARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate headers, most likely linux-headers-generic. You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.6.1.48_Ubuntur159471
