This is a non-standard configuration (disabling IPv6) and actually not recommended for any environment these days.
The tool does mention the availability of "none" so, someone in such an environment should be able to make the connection and set to "none". "lxd init" cannot actually check whether the machine will have IPv6 or not as this is all done over the remote LXD API and IPv6 availability isn't something that can be queried (and it's so niche that it doesn't really make any sense to add). The error comes from "lxd init" having told LXD to set "ipv6.address" to "auto", "auto" here means select an IPv6 subnet automatically, which it did and then failed to apply due to the disabled kernel support. We can add a check for the presence of "/proc/sys/net/ipv6" and fail with a nicer error, but this particular case will still fail and I don't see us changing that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849904 Title: lxd init assumes ipv6 is available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd/+bug/1849904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
