Public bug reported: If you disable ipv6 with the kernel boot option "ipv6.disable=1" then fping does not work in ubuntu 18.04.
root@server:/tmp# fping -4 -a -g 192.168.100.0/24 (null): can't create raw socket (must run as root?) : Address family not supported by protocol If you enable ipv6 fping is fine again! There seems to be a fix on github...
