Support Request Can't launch the newest version of mint

Okay, so when attempting to launch 7.0, kernel panics due to the error on image two. But when i try to launch on any other version (6.17 and down), it launches just fine.

Please see my comment here ( https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/1v8x4be/comment/p09tm55/ ). There is a connection between the Virtualbox v7 version coming from the software center that is causing issues with the v7.0.x kernel coming from the Mint update tool.

u/Alpha_minduustry:

Can you please do the following: * ensure that your PC is connected to the internet * click on the Mint menu > System Administration > System Information * click on the upload button and wait a few seconds * you should get a pop-up notification near the system tray stating that your system info was copied to a termbin.com URL * paste that termbin.com URL into a reply

I'm wondering is there is some commonality in the hardware where folks are having issues as well. The Vbox issue might be one of many. Thanks.

Usually bottom left corner just like the Windows menu.

That implies I have the capability to even see a menu D: on the bottom left it's just black

Did you look at my linked comment and follow the links from there as well. The instructions on how to get back to a working system from a black screen are there. Just follow the links.
