Public bug reported: Calling ip addr fails with the following error message: Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol
My use case is running a docker raspberry pi arm container on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with qemu-static. My steps to reproduce are the following: # docker pull philipz/rpi-raspbian:latest # docker run -it --rm -v /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static philipz/rpi-raspbian bash root@3b4ddc174279:/# ip addr Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol A fix or an workaround would be awesome. note: we are also working with a embedded arm distro which has no package manager available, would be nice if the workaround would not depend on apt-get ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581695 Title: getifaddrs: Address family not supported by protocol Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Calling ip addr fails with the following error message: Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol My use case is running a docker raspberry pi arm container on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with qemu-static.
