For reproducing just try to use Kopete IM client and try to connect to some jabber server. Kopete must use IPv6 recursive DNS server for translating jabber SRV or A records. DNS server address is read from standard file /etc/resolv.conf.
So if you do not have IPv6 connectivity, you can you start some recursive (or forward) DNS server on IPv6 localhost and set nameserver ::1 in /etc/resolv.conf. This is quick hack, but should work. I see that NetworkManager on Ubuntu is already using dnsmasq (as forwarder), but does not have enabled IPv6 support on localhost. It automatically add "nameserver 127.0.0.1" line into /etc/resolv.conf. To tell dnsmasq to listen also on IPv6 localhost add configuration like: $ echo listen-address=::1 > /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ipv6 (and reboot) And set "nameserver ::1" in /etc/resolv.conf (note that NetworkManager is changing that file when reconnecting...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527902 Title: 3.13.0-71: IPv6 UDP DNS packets are not received To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1527902/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
