Would you like a YAML “lxd init” preseed to be printed? (yes/no) [default=no]:
Error: Failed to create local member network “lxdbr0” in project “default”: Failed clearing firewall: Failed checking “iptables” chain “lxd_acl_lxdbr0” exists in table “filter”: exec: “iptables”: executable file not found in $PATH
i get the error when i lxd init
Sounds like you don’t have iptables installed on your system.
i have iptables installed
sudo iptables
iptables v1.8.7 (nf_tables): no command specified
Try `iptables -h’ or ‘iptables --help’ for more information.
Likely the way you’re launching LXD means that the PATH variable doesn’t contain the directory where the iptables command is.
i also wonder why the bin/lxd folder is in home directory instead of home/go directory i had to mv it there though
how can i check the coreect path for the iptables and also the required path for lxd to have the iptables path correct.
@tomp @stgraber how can i skip this part kindly. I have been on this part for a week now. I would appreciate your guidance please.
Do you know about the snap package BTW. Its a lot easier and quicker than getting up and running.
For the point in question, please show the exact invocation of the lxd command you are using.
@tomp Yeah i know Snap but i wanted to know how i can build from source too
The below command is run in a differnet terminal
sudo -E PATH=${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} $(go env GOPATH)/bin/lxd --group sudo
and its output is as below

You will notice it has some Warnings that \Backend command “iptables” missing\
then on a different terminal i run lxd init and follow the below steps along with the error in question

What does
sudo -E PATH=${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} env | grep PATH
and
whereis iptables
show?
sudo -E PATH=${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} env | grep PATH
PATH=/home/aok/go/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/home/aok/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/aok/go/bin
GOPATH=/home/aok/go
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/aok/go/deps/dqlite/.libs/:/home/aok/go/deps/raft/.libs/:/home/aok/go/deps/raft/.libs/:/home/aok/go/deps/dqlite/.libs/
whereis iptables
iptables: /usr/sbin/iptables /etc/iptables /usr/share/iptables /usr/share/man/man8/iptables.8.gz
Right, so /usr/sbin (where iptables is) isn’t in the PATH you’re setting when running the command.
Try:
sudo -E PATH=${PATH}:/usr/sbin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} $(go env GOPATH)/bin/lxd --group sudo
sudo -E PATH=${PATH}:/usr/sbin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} (go env GOPATH)/bin/lxd --group sudo
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(’
Corrected it above. I just added :/usr/sbin to the $PATH to account for your particular environment.
okay i edited this change
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/sbin
Now the lxd init error is not there
i created a container
lxc launch images:alpine/3.16 c1
Creating c1
Starting c1
but lxc ls shows the created container has no ipv4 address
is the qemu warning important
driver=qemu err=“KVM support is missing (no /dev/kvm)” type=virtual-machine
because
whereis kvm
kvm: /usr/bin/kvm /usr/share/man/man1/kvm.1.gz
There’s a few posts on this forum covering similar issues, usually it boils down to one or more of these issues:
lxc warning ls to see if there are any dnsmasq issues.I have no docker installed in the system and no dnsmasq warning too. I happened to disable host firewall and it did solve the issue also nft flush too helped.
