Enabling IPV6 automatically - Microx - 19th Dec, 2013 09:22 AM
Hello. i'm new to XBIAN and pretty much a noob.
I'm using a newsgroup server that allows only IPV6 connections.
I went through the forum and also github : from what I read, I can only have IPV6 if I manually do "sudo mod probe ipv6".
I tried and only "sudo modprobe ipv6" worked, without the space.
But I wish that I could avoid having to do that at each reboot.
Could you kindly explain how I could achieve this in the configuration ?
NB: I read that " ipv6 support is currently build as module and by default blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf". Changing the parameter in this file did not help either.
thank you, for XBIAN and your support.
EDIT : i'm using XBIAN 1.0 beta 2

If you had read "Please read before you post" you wouldn't have needed to edited this post.
As a temporary fix (and this is by no means a fix) you could try adding ipv6 to
Code:

Thank you.
I did read but wrongly assumed that my config was not relevant to the question, besides XBIAN version. Sorry.

Thanks, but what may not be relevant to you can be very relevant to those trying to solve your problem. In this case you were correct the version was very relevant.
After a reboot
Terminal
lsmod
