I have a similar looking issue with the error "metallb-system/memberlist: secret "memberlist" not found". I've tried spinning up both Ubuntu and Debian VMs but have the same issue on both. I kept the config just like the sample and only changed the IPs and secret. I also made sure all my VMs have eth0 as the interface. The VIP responds to pings but the setup isn't complete, and no kubectl.

[AutomateMyLifee]

Solution: I setup VMs using this guide. I believe the problem was that I cloned VMs to create the other nodes, so all the machines had the same identifiers.
