none: "The none driver requires conntrack to be installed" - but it's installed!

[vlganev]

Hello,
I get an error The none driver requires conntrack to be installed for kubernetes version
I the same time I have:

vg@frozensoul:~$ conntrack --version
conntrack v1.4.5 (conntrack-tools)

I guess the issue is here

		if version.GTE(semver.MustParse("1.18.0-beta.1")) {
			err := exec.Command("conntrack").Run()
			if err != nil {
				exit.WithCodeT(exit.Config, "The none driver requires conntrack to be installed for kubernetes version {{.k8sVersion}}", out.V{"k8sVersion": version.String()})
			}
		}

After commenting the code above it seems fine.

It may be in your path as vg, but I suspect it is not in roots path. Can you confirm:

sudo su -
conntrack --version

[tstromberg]

If nothing else, this error message is misleading and unhelpful.

If you don't mind, can you also share the output of:

whereis conntrack

and:

sudo su -
echo $PATH

I think a better error message here would be:

conntrack not found in root users $PATH

[tstromberg]

Also, this should be calling exec.LookPath instead of running conntrack, or at least running conntrack --version. Thank you for raising this to our attention.

Hi, this is the output

root@frozensoul:~# conntrack --version
conntrack v1.4.5 (conntrack-tools)

root@frozensoul:~# whereis conntrack
conntrack: /usr/sbin/conntrack /usr/share/man/man8/conntrack.8.gz

root@frozensoul:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Thank you for the quick response!

[tstromberg]

OK. I think this check is bad, but can you confirm one last thing for me? I'd like to see the output of:

sudo conntrack; echo $?

Thank you for your speedy replies. =)

[vlganev]

The output is interesting:

vg@frozensoul~$ sudo conntrack; echo $?
conntrack v1.4.5 (conntrack-tools): you have to specify `--src' and `--dst'
Try `conntrack -h' or 'conntrack --help' for more information.

@vlganev - any chance you could confirm that the binary produced by #7305 fixes your issue?

Thank you!

@tstromberg I've just tested it and it's working.
Thank you!
