Thanks a lot Simon for your thoughts - this is exactly what I was looking for.
"On a hypervisor, binding on link local IPs is undesirable IMHO" Thats what I thought as well But - if there is valid use of link locals in general - as I was unsure of and you as well suggest there might be folks doing that; then we do not want to ignore them by default. TL;DR we better have it working for all and have those "undesired" disabling it instead of not working by default in some environments. If more people chime in we can make an overall summary and either reopen or keep as is. For now this stays incomplete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737998 Title: trying to bind on all interfaces is a good default, but fails on ipv6 link local Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The default is "grab all" which is great for convenience and can be configured to be differently by argument -I (interface) or interface commands in the config. Currently it is "too" open on that. I see it trying to bing link local addresses for each of the KVM guests I spawn. They get virtual network devices and due to that ntp sees it tries to bind and fails.
