Use two sockets, one for IPv4 and another one for IPv6 (1.93 KB, patch)
2010-01-28 13:08 UTC, Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 		committed Details | Review

Description Josselin Mouette 2009-12-17 08:52:06 UTC 
The kernel default for net.ipv6.bindv6only changed to 1 for Debian, in order to match other operating systems’ behavior.

This means binding an IPv6 socket will no longer bind an IPv4 one as well. Note that this is already a bug for *BSD. The result is that vino will only listen on IPv6 addresses when IPv6 support is enabled.

Use two sockets, one for IPv4 and another one for IPv6

Patch from Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>

   * debian/patches/01_ipv6-fix.patch: New, use two listening sockets
     (one for IPv4, one for IPv6) and disable use of ipv4-mapped IPv6
     addresses. (Closes: #561440)
Comment 2 Josh Triplett 2010-02-01 20:08:09 UTC 
I can confirm that the patch works.  With it, I can connect to vino over IPv4 again.
