Question
Error while allowing SSH connections on UFW
- Posted October 29, 2014
Currently i have a server running Ubuntu 14.04 on a LEMP stack, i was trying to enable UFW following this tutorial.
But after i run ** sudo ufw allow ssh**
I’m getting the following error: ERROR: initcaps [Errno 2] modprobe: ERROR: …/libkmod/libkmod.c:556 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file ‘/lib/modules/3.13.0-36-generic/modules.dep.bin’ ip6tables v1.4.21: can’t initialize ip6tables table `filter’: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Any ideas?

Run the following command and then reboot your droplet to fix it:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r)
That should install your Droplet’s kernel and the corresponding modules on the Droplet.

It appears that you might have upgraded the kernel without rebooting. Try rebooting the server and trying again. If that fails, let me know.

Exactly the same problem…
The reason is because the LEMP Digital Ocean image is missing these kernel files.
You can follow this guide to install the correct kernel… It appears t have worked for me.
