I'm trying to install Kubernetes cluster using Kubespray. I get this error during script run time:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/lib/modules/5.2.0/modules.builtin'

I use for control plane and work node Ubuntu 22.04.

Do you know how I can fix this issue?

I use this OS: https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZT/repos/ubuntu-22.04-x86_64-ez/browse

the reason was i tried to install k8s via kubespray inside lxd container. thats why of course the folder /lib/modules was empty inside lxd container.

i dont know your case but:

if you try to install k8s on usual linux host then file "modules.builtin" is a part of package "linux-modules-5.2.0-generic"
if you try to install k8s inside lxd container then go back to the main host and load the following kernel modules:
br_netfilter
ip_vs
ip_vs_rr
ip_vs_wrr
ip_vs_sh
nf_conntrack

to be sure they are loaded every host boot use the following

# cat /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf  | grep -v '#'

br_netfilter
ip_vs
ip_vs_rr
ip_vs_wrr
ip_vs_sh
nf_conntrack

#  systemctl restart systemd-modules-load
#  systemctl status  systemd-modules-load

the file in ansible that generates the error is the following:

$kubespray_folder/kubespray/roles/kubernetes/node/tasks/main.yml

hope it helps as it has done to me

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
