Public bug reported: I just installed miredo and begun to use ipv6. I've noticed that netstat is incapable to display correctly the sockets when it is instructed to display the ipv6 address instead of the name, thus making it useless.
the command issued is netstat -n --tcp the result is something similar to: Active Internet connections (senza server) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp6 0 48 2001:xxxx:yyyy:324:22222 2001:0:zzzz:64c:3:55249 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 2001:xxxx:yyyy:324::2:80 2001:0:zzzz:64c:3:51862 TIME_WAIT (please note that xxxx yyyy zzzz masks real part of the ipv6 address because of privacy) the result shown by netstat is incomplete, because the ipv6 addresses are truncated in half thus making the netstat command completely useless (I cannot understand who's connecting or whom I'm connecting with). enlarging the terminal doesn't help. the question: is it a bug? is there something I can do? thanks a lot ndv ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- netstat doesn't display ipv6 addresses correctly (they are truncated) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511401 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
