Question
UFW Installation - Ubuntu 12.04.x x64 vmlinuz-3.8.0-37-generic?
Originally, I was currently trying to install UFW for security reasons on my WebServer (Which was originally running Ubuntu 12.04.x x64 vmlinuz-3.8.0-37-generic), following this guide here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-an-ubuntu-and-debian-cloud-server
Basically, I did a "sudo apt-get install ufw", and when I type "ufw status" the message I had received is as follows:
"ERROR: problem running iptables: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.8.0-37-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory ... ip tables v1.4.12: can't initialize iptables table 'filter': Table does not exist ... Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded."
Currently, I've reverted to Ubuntu 12.04.x x64 vmlinuz-3.2.0-60-virtual, and it now functions as it should (As I did a "ls /lib/modules/" and found the modules currently installed). Is there a way I can install modules/etc for Ubuntu 12.04.x x64 vmlinuz-3.8.0-37-generic, so UFW works on that kernel? (I'm new to this, so I'm not too familiar with the differences between some kernels).
Thanks.
