Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, after an automatic upgrade from openvswitch 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.3 to openvswith 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.4 the brcompat support does not work any longer.
The brcompat kernel module can be build, installed, and loaded, but openvswitch-brcompatd will not start with the error message: "ovs- brcompatd: could not open brcompat socket. Check "brcompat" kernel module." After a downgrade back to version 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.3 brcompat works again. I think this is essentially the same problem as described here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+question/221334 It might be unrelated, but after the upgrade "lsmod" does not list the "openvswitch" module as a dependency of the "brcompat" module. After downgrading, the dependency is shown again. ** Affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvswitch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125611 Title: Upgrade to 1.4.0-1ubuntu1.4 breaks brcompat support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/1125611/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
