Public bug reported: After installing the latest network-manager package that fixes bug 990011, I noticed that my IPv6 address was suddenly different because IPv6 privacy extensions had been turned on. Turning them off in /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf doesn't stop network-manager from enabling it. I'm using the default automatically generated wired connection, so there are no connection settings in /etc/NetworkManager /system-connections.
If I change some settings so that NM writes the connection to system- connections and then add ip6-privacy=0 to the configuration the privacy extensions are turned off, but it would be nice if that was also the case when it is turned of using /etc/sysctl.d/10-ipv6-privacy.conf. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998223 Title: Turns on IPv6 privacy extensions with latest update, even when turned off by sysctl To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/998223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
