This was fixed in snv_114. Unfortunately, this is not yet available via the dev repository, so for now, I'd go with the workaround of adding the ::1 address through zonecfg.

Can you try plumbing in the ::1 interface in the zone please? I don't recall whether this can be done with ifconfig plumb or not within an NGZ or whether it is a zonecfg re-configuration which is needed.

it's very difficult to find the docs. I found this:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/sundocs/articles/trsoltechfaq.jsp
and i did:
zonecfg:catalogue2> add net
zonecfg:catalogue2:net> set address=::1/64
zonecfg:catalogue2:net> set physical=e1000g1
zonecfg:catalogue2:net> end

i'm not sure how it is correct?
in the zone, now:
lo0:1: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
        inet6 ::1/128

and the message "error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket" never appears

Could you confirm this workaround, and the exact syntax? i'm not very friendly with ipv6.


It's been a while since I've configured a zone, so I'm not the best one to check with ;-) On the other hand, you do end up with a ::1 address, so I guess it's good enough.
I expected the message to go away once a ::1 addr was available.


Alternatively, try one of the workarounds in http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6704823 and let me know whether you can reproduce the problem. If not, remove the workaround (unplumb the interface, etc...) and try again to confirm the error re-appears.


none of these workarounds works in my case. But even if the error message appears, you're able to login into the zone, so i think it's the reason why other people doesn't complain about it.

OK, none of the documented workarounds are applicable, but adding the interface with zonecfg is apparently good enough. It may need some refining, but it does show that nevada NGZs are applicable to this bug.

The message shouldn't stop a shell login, but IIRC you should find that you cannot SSH-tunnel X applications to a remote host, i.e. X forwarding is broken.

When I originally logged the bug, I didn't check NGZ default config (I didn't have the time to set one up and test as I was in the middle of checking and integrating another bug fix.

I'll try and check this out (and update the bug), but I don't have a lot of time at the moment.

thanks for your help,

Thanks,

That bug (or rather the bug it was closed as a duplicate of) is technically S10-only because nevada (and hence opensolaris) plumbs in an IPv6 interface by default.

Do you have the ::1 "interface" plumbed in and up? Something like this:

lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
   inet6 ::1/128

If not, then you can be exposed to this bug on OpenSolaris.


yes, i have it in the global zone:
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index
 1
        inet6 ::1/128

but not in the non-global zone:
r...@ng-zone:~# ifconfig -a
lo0:8: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g1:8: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet x.y.z.143 netmask ffffff00 broadcast x.y.z.255
r...@ng-zone:~#
