|
|
I just got my very own linode, and I'm happily running Ubuntu 5.10 with the latest 2.6 kernel. However, when I try and use iptables, I get the following error:
~> iptables --list -n
iptables v1.3.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
I get this error whenever I try and use any iptable command. Am I forgetting to do something totally obvious? |

Try Code: mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-disabled
UML doesn't support NPTL (and, as consequence of this, TLS), which sometimes causes weirdness like you are experiencing. |

| Are you sure the IPTables process is running? |

Huh? Iptables isn't a process - it's either compiled into the kernel or is loaded as kernel modules. |

You're right, I shouldn't post before my first cup of coffee. |

Understood - you're forgiven :-) |
