[Bug 700492] Re: ntp complains about ipv6 errors every 5 minutes

 

John Kounis, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  ntp complains about ipv6 errors every 5 minutes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “ntp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntp

  Every 5 minutes, ntpd complains about being unable to create a socked
  on an ipv6 address. I'm running a new installation of Maverick 10.10.
  Here is my syslog:

  Jan 8 04:05:01 pgfs ntpd[2608]: synchronized to 91.189.94.4, stratum 2
  Jan 8 04:05:01 pgfs ntpd[2608]: kernel time sync status change 2001

  Jan 8 04:10:42 pgfs ntpd[2608]: unable to create socket on bond0 (9) for fe80::217:31ff:fef8:f63f#123
  Jan 8 04:10:42 pgfs ntpd[2608]: failed to initialize interface for address fe80::217:31ff:fef8:f63f

  I'm running ntp 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu6.
  FYI, here is the output of md5sum /usr/sbin/ntp*. I think these are the latest packages:

  42415ef5eb851dabe9d06a67cf992d28 /usr/sbin/ntpd
  c1d85ce075c70928b53692561fdc5277 /usr/sbin/ntpdate
  79af988228131692520be14d25355a8e /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
  d4ae7ee172f7ed340c4e1b406c04d16d /usr/sbin/ntp-keygen
  b7f7e4e0fb1d4e2aece718b18ae28b46 /usr/sbin/ntptime
  7d4b58d1da97ba46ba8eeab08b345a44 /usr/sbin/ntp-wait

  This is a brand new installation. The sequence of steps to reproduce
  this are:

  1. Install Maverick on a RAID 1 system. Separate / and /home partition.
  2. Install Updates
  3. Install graphics card hardware driver
  4. Download ifenslave. Configure bonding. Set static IP address.
  5. Install NTP
