Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
On Lucid development branch, network places gives generic error message when trying to connect to a server over IPv6, rather than suggesting the user place the address in square brackets. [ ] Further more, placing the address address in brackets is not an intuitive method for users to connect to remote machines. If brackets are indefinitely needed place a reminder in the "connect to server" window after it's open. To clarify when connecting to (for example) an openssh server that listens on IPv6: this won't work: 2001:470:1f06:a25:a00:24ff:fe77:2bb but this will work: [2001:470:1f06:a25:a00:24ff:fe77:2bb] ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: connect ipv6 network places -- network places does not inform users to use brackets for IPv6 address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564436 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
