Failed installation

Hi, I am trying to install the driver on Xubuntu based on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS following the novice path and get this error message:

Appreciate any help! If you can recommend a Ubuntu-based Linux kernel > 6.0 distro that is tested as working with the driver, I can switch over to that as a solution.

It was a fresh installation, so I migrated to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with the latest kernel, and everything works fine now.

Okay, copy all. Enjoy.
