If executing the sudo sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=1 command has caused issues with your virtual machine (VM), here are some steps you can take to try and fix the problem:

1.Restart the VM: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue. Use the appropriate command or interface to restart your VM and see if it resolves the problem.

2.Access the VM through a console: If you're unable to access the VM through regular means, try accessing it through a console or a virtualization platform's console interface. This can provide direct access to the VM's terminal, allowing you to make necessary changes.

3.Boot into recovery mode: If a console is not available, you may need to boot the VM into recovery mode. The steps for entering recovery mode can vary depending on the virtualization platform you are using. Check the documentation or support resources for your specific virtualization software to learn how to boot into recovery mode.

4.Edit the configuration file: Once you have access to the VM's terminal, edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to remove or comment out the line that caused the issue. Use a text editor, such as nano or vi, to modify the file.
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Locate the line that contains kernel.modules_disabled=1 and either delete the line or comment it out by adding a # at the beginning of the line. Save the file and exit the text editor.

5.Apply the changes: After editing the /etc/sysctl.conf file, you need to apply the changes. Run the following command to reload the sysctl settings:
sudo sysctl -p
This command will reload the configuration file and apply the changes.

Restart the VM: Once you have made the necessary changes and applied them, restart the VM to ensure that the modifications take effect.

6.By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue caused by the sudo sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=1 command. Remember to use caution when modifying system configuration files to avoid unintended consequences.

How did your VM break?

Edit: sudo sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=1 is literally sudo disable Linux modules. You will have to run a recovery environment to probably chroot and set it back to sudo sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=0
