Could you try to install it with a lower kernel version:5.15.0-25-generic with Ubuntu 22.04?

6.8.0-40-generic is not supported officially.

OK, thank you.
I used kernel 5.15.0-25-generic with Ubuntu 22.04, there are still similar errors as above.
After updating the softlink of /lib/libc.so.6, it installed normally.
Thank you~
