Public bug reported: My main interface eth0 fails to bring up its IPv6 global address - despite having done so on Ubuntu 9.04. We have been running IPv6 for a few years without problem here. The interface has a link local address and sends out an RA to do DAD but the kernel (wrongly) seems to assume there has been a duplicate address detected and does not assign the address to the interface. This can been seen by looking in the /var/log/messages where there are copious messages: Nov 13 15:10:47 ballard kernel: [ 1251.856114] eth0: IPv6 duplicate address detected!
My current workaround to disbale DAD by doing the following: root# echo '0' > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_dad ProblemType: Bug AplayDevices: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: AMD8111 [AMD AMD8111], device 0: Intel ICH [AMD AMD8111] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: piers 2848 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: piers 2848 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'AMD8111'/'AMD AMD8111 with ALC655 at irq 17' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC655 rev 0' Components : 'AC97a:414c4760' Controls : 41 Simple ctrls : 26 Card1.Amixer.info: Card hw:1 'U0x46d0x8ca'/'USB Device 0x46d:0x8ca at usb-0000:01:03.2-3.3, high speed' Mixer name : 'USB Mixer' Components : 'USB046d:08ca' Controls : 2 Simple ctrls : 1 Card1.Amixer.values: Simple mixer control 'Mic',0 Capabilities: cvolume cvolume-joined cswitch cswitch-joined Capture channels: Mono Limits: Capture 0 - 3072 Mono: Capture 0 [0%] [18.00dB] [on] Date: Fri Nov 13 15:23:15 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=d74a1f12-7645-4e7f-af80-a686e39da483 MachineType: Sun Microsystems W1100z/2100z NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic 2.6.31-15.50 ProcCmdLine: root=UUID=8d4be6f5-8040-4dd5-b4bc-58676a6c0af7 ro splash vga=795 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-15.50-generic RelatedPackageVersions: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-15-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.25 RfKill: SourcePackage: linux Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic i686 WpaSupplicantLog: dmi.bios.date: 09/29/2006 dmi.bios.vendor: Sun Microsystems dmi.bios.version: R01-B5 S1 dmi.board.name: K85AE dmi.board.vendor: Sun Microsystems dmi.board.version: 501-6851 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: N/A dmi.chassis.type: 7 dmi.chassis.vendor: Sun Microsystems dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnSunMicrosystems:bvrR01-B5S1:bd09/29/2006:svnSunMicrosystems:pnW1100z/2100z:pvr602-2836-02:rvnSunMicrosystems:rnK85AE:rvr501-6851:cvnSunMicrosystems:ct7:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: W1100z/2100z dmi.product.version: 602-2836-02 dmi.sys.vendor: Sun Microsystems ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- IPv6 Global address fails to come up due to DAD failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
