(The link-local address reappears quickly but the 'tentative' flag indicates that it has been newly re-added. The SLAAC address reappears after a slightly longer interval as the kernel continues to undergo SLAAC, but the static address is gone forever unless manually reinstated.) The same happens if use_tempaddr is changed from 0 back to 2. - The expected outcome is that only temporary addresses are affected by a - change to use_tempaddr. + The expected outcome is that only temporary addresses are affected by a change to use_tempaddr. + --- + AcpiTables: + + AlsaDevices: + total 0 + crw-rw---T 1 root audio 116, 1 May 5 03:53 seq + crw-rw---T 1 root audio 116, 33 May 5 03:53 timer + AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 + Architecture: i386 + ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: + CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found. + CurrentDmesg: + + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 + IwConfig: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + Lspci: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + Lsusb: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + Package: linux (not installed) + PciMultimedia: + + ProcEnviron: + TERM=screen.linux + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcFB: + + ProcKernelCmdLine: root=UUID=b16ffd9c-a54a-4dd3-a839-16c382ea8787 ro console=hvc0 + ProcModules: + lp 17455 0 - Live 0x00000000 + parport 40930 1 lp, Live 0x00000000 + xenfs 17877 1 - Live 0x00000000 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic-pae 3.2.14 + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-3.2.0-24-generic-pae N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.2.0-24-generic-pae N/A + linux-firmware 1.79 + RfKill: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + Tags: precise + Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae i686 + UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-05-05 (0 days ago) + UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare ** Attachment added: "BootDmesg.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994931/+attachment/3132521/+files/BootDmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994931 Title: Altering use_tempaddr drops all IPv6 addresses To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/994931/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
