Yes, it's as solved as it can be.

Not sure if it still works, but you could try the solution here:

I don't have a solution, but this looks like a problem with Virtualbox:

Removing linux-image-5.15.0-67-generic (5.15.0-67.74) ...
/etc/kernel/prerm.d/vboxadd:
run-parts: failed to exec /etc/kernel/prerm.d/vboxadd: Exec format error
run-parts: /etc/kernel/prerm.d/vboxadd exited with return code 1

Try Software Sources, Maintenance, Fix MergeList problems.

Sorry, no idea what any of that means. Someone else might know though.

Glad you figured it out. Edit your first post & add 'SOLVED' to the Subject line.

Does that message go away if you type clear in the terminal & hit Enter? Or, maybe reset & Enter?

Does it make any difference if you disable the touchpad:
Reboot & touchpad should enable again. If not:

I'm new to Linux and I'm still learning my ropes, can you please explain how literally to do it, as if I were a child? Thanks.

Strange, because a touchpad does show there: xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SYNA8017:00 06CB:CEB2 Touchpad id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SYNA8017:00 06CB:CEB2 Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 Synaptics...

Getting into Grub can be a bit tricky, so try Timeshift first. You can restore a Timeshift snapshot using your Mint install media.

The Mediatek 7902 device has no linux support at this time.

No idea, but does it show in xinput list ?

Maybe something here will help: https://linuxpip.org/fix-unable-to-corr ... n-packages

Probably not a kernel issue then, but wait & see what others have to say.
Meanwhile, you can try reloading the driver:

Not sure, but you might try a higher kernel if one is available in Update Manager, View, Linux Kernels.

Found this: ...Dependencies are other pieces of software that a program needs to function correctly. When you install software on Linux, the package manager typically manages these dependencies for you.
