networkmanager-1.0.6: spams log with: cannot send router solicitation: -101.
Last modified: 2016-04-17 11:12:47 UTC
About 95% of my whole system log is occupied by just a single repeating line: Dec 17 15:14:24 nb-algecraft NetworkManager[335]: <error> [1450361664.941063] [/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/networkmanager-1.0.6-r1/work/NetworkManager-1.0.6/src/rdisc/nm-lndp-rdisc.c:68] send_rs(): (wlp4s0): cannot send router solicitation: -101. This message repeats every 5 seconds. I am on a non IPv6 network. I expect the logging to be less freuqent. Especially because this seems to be a normal behavior in non ipv6 networks. system detail: - gentoo - networkmanager 1.0.6 - dhclient 4.3.1 - kernel 4.1.12
the problem was also reported for red hat and debian (by some other users) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775736 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1034443 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010540
and ubuntu: https://lists.launchpad.net/touch-packages/msg75697.html
fixed on master by: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=21efcfe6b57ffc36e0e7a89ee4dcb10b35ee6827
cool, that was fast. THX
Can this also be backported to 1.0 branch for getting it solved there in a potential new version? Thanks a lot
