dhcpcd-discuss

Hi Roy,

Thanks for the patch. Apologies for the slow response. Had to take notes 
and laptop to last night's Linux User Group meeting to get some assistance!

Applied the patch, seemingly successfully. I didn't have sequence you 
suggested with me so missed the line/command src/dhcpcd -dB

Running ip with various parameters didn't produce a specific IP6 
address. e.g.:

~]# ip -6 a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 state UP qlen 1000
    inet6 2001:bc8:6005:127:81d3:52dc:d872:f854/64 scope global dynamic 
mngtmpaddr noprefixroute
       valid_lft 2591985sec preferred_lft 604785sec
    inet6 2001:bc8:6005:127:99ea:ac0f:7162:10b5/64 scope global dynamic 
noprefixroute
       valid_lft 2591997sec preferred_lft 604797sec
    inet6 fe80::e80a:3f64:c681:bcf/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::cfdc:cf53:3945:166f/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

so ran the following sequence this morning, not sure where to go from here:

~]# systemctl status dhcpcd@enp0s20.service
* dhcpcd@enp0s20.service - dhcpcd on enp0s20
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service; disabled; 
vendor >
     Active: inactive (dead)

~]# systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp0s20.service

~]# systemctl reboot

~]# systemctl status dhcpcd@enp0s20.service
* dhcpcd@enp0s20.service - dhcpcd on enp0s20
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service; enabled; 
vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Jan 15 08:57:55 sd-136208 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for dhcpcd on 
enp0s20.
Jan 15 08:57:55 sd-136208 systemd[1]: dhcpcd@enp0s20.service: Job 
dhcpcd@enp0s20.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

Thanks,

Mike
