I'm using an Ubuntu 16.04 vm at a provider I haven't used before and immediately encountered a new problem. I installed the iptables package, however when I attempted to run iptables -L, I received this message:
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.0-72-generic/modules.dep.bin' modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-72-generic iptables v1.6.0: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.My first response was to load the ip_tables module, however there were no modules in /lib/modules... I'm also wondering where the kernel config is, since it was not in /boot.
A created a support ticket, but the provider is saying the level of support I'm seeking "requires an SLA agreement".
Thoughts?
