Help: VM on Virtualbox Ubuntu 18. Can't even get Kubernetes installed due to dependencies Issues.

Hi,

I'm very new to Kubernetes. So I'm following the instructions from the manual you provided for the labs.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on VirtualBox.
I added the Xenial repo as asked. I can't even install kubernetes code:

root@kubemaster:/home/oracle# apt-get install kubeadm=1.13.1-00 kubelet=1.13.1-00 kubectl=1.13.1-00
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kubeadm : Depends: kubernetes-cni (= 0.6.0) but 0.7.5-00 is to be installed
kubelet : Depends: kubernetes-cni (= 0.6.0) but 0.7.5-00 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Note: I ran ready-for.sh and it says I'm good for the course.

Hello,

First off I would suggest using Ubuntu 16 instead of 18 as there are some quirks that have yet to be sorted out.

The second suggestion is to ensure you have run apt-get update, so that the repo information is current and can be used. Do you have issues installing any other software, or only the kubernetes packages? If it is only these packages ensure that the sources file you created has four distinct sections. A typical error is to miss a whitespace and the repo does not get used properly.

Hi,
With the release of a new Kubernetes version, lately, we noticed that prior versions are impacted in one way or another.
Version 1.13.1 used for the labs was impacted by the kubernetes-cni package, where the current dependency is set to kubernetes-cni version 0.7.5 (the lates). Unfortunately, version 0.7.5 is not supported by our lab environment Kubernetes version 1.13.1, thus we need to manually install kubernetes-cni version 0.6.0 which is the supported version by Kubernetes 1.13.1.

When going thru the installation steps, an additional installation needs to be completed before the Kubernetes version 1.13.1 components installation in Step 7.

STEP 6:
apt-get update

STEP 7:
apt-get install -y kubernetes-cni=0.6.0-00
apt-get install -y kubeadm=1.13.1-00 kubelet=1.13.1-00 kubectl=1.13.1-00

Also, make sure you are on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, as instructed in STEP 4 and as mentioned by @serewicz in his comment above.

Regards,
-Chris

HI Serewicz,

I installed 16.04.6 LTS and I'm getting the same error:

@GaneshB.G LFD420 does not have a forum, as that is an instructor led course, and any issues will be discussed during the live course with the instructor. This forum is only for LFS258.

NVM, I could get it to work by doing update and upgrade.

You should have been running ./ready-for.sh --install LFS258 anyway. Ubntu 16.04 is indeed unsupported for LFD420 but that is of no concern to you
