ufw unable to find modules

[Christer Edwards]

Binary package hint: ufw

I get this error during boot-output after a 7.10 -> 8.04 upgrade:

 * Starting firewall: ufw...
FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_ftp not found.
FATAL: Module nf_nat_ftp not found.
FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_irc not found.
FATAL: Module nf_nat_irc not found.

Do these normally come with ufw or the iptables packages? Are they part of a secondary package that I've missed?

These are part of the Ubuntu kernel packages. Are you using a custom compiled kernel?

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

I am using a custom kernel as this server is a xen domU on a VPS (slicehost). I suppose I can bring it up with them..

uname -a:
Linux zelut 2.6.18-xen #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 06:40:50 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

While loading the modules doesn't work (obviously), this does not stop ufw from loading. You can either recompile your kernel, or adjust IPT_MODULES in /etc/default/ufw.
