Reproduced with your keepalived.conf, thanks - specifically that what goes to syslog seems to be a problem on startup without ip_vs manually loaded, and after a manual modprobe there is less of an error (I get other errors presumably because I don't have your network set up).
I'm surprised to hear of the report in the Debian bug that adding ip_vs to /etc/modules does not work. @Thorsten please could you try this? It's a workaround and not a proper permanent fix but if the workaround doesn't work that will help us inform us for a proper fix. I also don't see any changes in packaging that would have caused this to have been fixed in Bionic. I wonder if there is a change keepalived that landed after Xenial's version that fixes this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to keepalived in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800159 Title: keepalived does not autoload the ip_vs kernel module when it is required Status in keepalived package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in keepalived package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: 1) Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS Release: 16.04 2) keepalived: Installed: 1:1.2.24-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 Candidate: 1:1.2.24-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 Version table: *** 1:1.2.24-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 500 500 http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) not loading the kernel module systemctl start keepalived.service Keepalived_healthcheckers[1680]: IPVS: Protocol not available Keepalived_healthcheckers[1680]: message repeated 8 times: [ IPVS: Protocol not available] ... 4) loading the module manually systemctl stop keepalived.service modprobe ip_vs kernel: [ 445.363609] IPVS: ipvs loaded. systemctl start keepalived.service Keepalived_healthcheckers[5533]: Initializing ipvs kernel: [ 600.828683] IPVS: [wlc] scheduler registered.
