IPv6 is not working after installation #15

Closed laf0rge closed 1 year ago

laf0rge commented 1 year ago

First of all, thanks for your work - it is much appreciated.

I've been trying to wrap my head around why on earth IPv6 is not working like it normally does on all Debian systems. It turns out the kernel cmdline is using ipv6.disable=1.

I didn't find any statement on why this is done, nor that it is done, or how to remove it.

laf0rge commented 1 year ago

looks like one can edit /boot/boot.txt to remove the ipv6.disable and then run tthe script /boot/mkscr.sh to fix this. The question remains why it is done in the first place.

You are right, it should default on as is the norm with Debian. I will publish the next rev with it enabled by default.

v12.0.3 resolves this issue: https://github.com/inindev/nanopi-r5/releases/tag/v12.0.3

Anyone wanting to disable ipv6 can edit the top of /boot/mk_extlinux to include ipv6.disable=1

EXTL_MENU_ENABLE='auto'      # true, false, auto
EXTL_MENU_ITEMS=2            # max kernels in menu
EXTL_MENU_TIMEOUT=3          # timeout in seconds
EXLT_CMD_LINE='ro rootwait ipv6.disable=1'

Then re-run /boot/mk_extlinux which will update the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file.
