[Waydroid] modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory

When trying to download a virtual machine in Waydroid, I'll get this error

(https://i.imgur.com/uz4Afez.png)

Failed to load binder driver
modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.23-1-lts
Binder node "binder" for waydroid not found

I've seen a few topics here about this, but none of them has solved the issue for me.

Moreover, perhaps, related to this, when installing Waydroid, I got:

error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/linux-headers-6.2.10.arch1-1/desc: No such file or directory

How to fix this?

Have you updated to linux-lts 6.1.24? If so, reboot.

I haven't updated.
Nonetheless, I've rebooted several times over the last week but this message will keep popping up.

I've seen that. How to fix it in my case? Will I have to switch to Linux-Zen?

The link gives you the options to fix it. linux-zen is one of the options.
