[SOLVED] can't initialize ip6tables table `filter'

[brokenpipe]

Hey all,

i would like to configure the ufw (uncomplicated firewall) on my raspberry.
unfortunately i'm receiving several errors when i try to initialize the default behaviour:


$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@raspberry ~]# uname -a
Linux raspberry 3.11.0-1-ARCH+ #1 PREEMPT Fri Sep 6 14:42:21 CDT 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@raspberry ~]# ufw default deny
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ufw", line 95, in <module>
ui = ufw.frontend.UFWFrontend(pr.dryrun)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufw/frontend.py", line 153, in __init__
self.backend = UFWBackendIptables(dryrun)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufw/backend_iptables.py", line 45, in __init__
ufw.backend.UFWBackend.__init__(self, "iptables", dryrun, files)

nf_caps = ufw.util.get_netfilter_capabilities(self.ip6tables)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufw/util.py", line 734, in get_netfilter_capabilities
raise OSError(errno.ENOENT, out)
OSError: [Errno 2] ip6tables v1.4.19.1: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Address family not supported by protocol
Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
')

it's not caused by a kernel upgrade, i did several reboots after the kernel upgrade!

thanks in advance and best regards!

Works here:$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' [root@alarmpi ~]# ufw default deny
Default incoming policy changed to 'deny'
(be sure to update your rules accordingly)')

Examine /boot/cmdline.txt
