Public bug reported: Have an unusual issue.
I have (native) IPv6 on my network. Typically, each connection has two dhclient processes; one for a v4 address, and dhclient with the -6 parameter for the v6 connection. Upon running 'ufw enable' in a console, a firewall is activated. After restarting NetworkManager, only one dhclient process is started by NetworkManager. This was undesirable, so I ran 'ufw disable', and rebooted just to be sure nothing had been left around. All rules gone, but now NetworkManager is point blankly refusing to start a dhclient process for the IPv6 side of networking. I've tried starting NetworkManager with --log-level=DEBUG and watching syslog; nothing seems to indicate that dhclient is even started for IPv6. The only potential indicator of something unusual is 'ipv6.method' being set to 'ignore' periodically, e.g.: Apr 25 11:22:57 lpt00258lin-gorgonzola NetworkManager[9238]: <debug> [1556187777.9076] ++ ipv6.method = 'auto' Apr 25 11:22:57 lpt00258lin-gorgonzola NetworkManager[9238]: <debug> [1556187777.9080] ++ ipv6.method = 'auto' Apr 25 11:22:57 lpt00258lin-gorgonzola NetworkManager[9238]: <debug> [1556187777.9168] ++ ipv6.method = 'ignore' Apr 25 11:22:57 lpt00258lin-gorgonzola NetworkManager[9238]: <debug> [1556187777.9224] ++ ipv6.method = 'ignore' Any clues would be most helpful!
