Ever heard of the Search function?

Self lookup ipv6 connection failed.

No man, I had NEVER heard about search and by the way ... What is mean search? I never had use it ... all my life. So I am sorry for maybe stupid question. But please explain me what is mean. Or maybe you will told me ... no no no ... please load google page and type define: search ... so maybe you are RO-BOT????? Can you ever talk with people? Or just prefer to search ... yeah Search Stuff ... Sorry but I can't understand U|!

I'm having the same problem. Bot crashes frequently with this message on IRC (EFnet)
Code:
* @eggdrop (eggdrop@eggdrop.com) Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
This is the only error I can find in eggdrop.log:
Code:
* Hostname IPV6 self-lookup failed.
Here is a clip of my eggdrop.conf
Code:
set my-hostname6 "myipv6.hostname.com"set my-ip6 "2001:aaaa:bbbb:cccc:0000:0000:0000:0001"set my-ip "192.168.1.10"
It was stable for weeks with this same configuration, then something happened.

Whats going on with the IPv6 patch for 1.6.18?

So man thank you abt CLIP. It' works

Hi,
I've tryed to patch the source with 1.6.13 code and then I've used nml375's suggestions.
My five bots are running since 15 hours, one master (linked to another bot as slave) and the other slave, and for now they are running correctly; the only problem I've found is in logging, after 12 hours they stop to log in file.
Someone has ideas on how to correct it?

Thanks,
Sebastian

P.S.: if someone want the patch that I've done can ask to me.

hmm, no .core files for me...

Ah well, I just built .18 and I'll be using that until someone can release a patch for .18

i don't see any debug type files and i don't know what a coredump is but if you want me to check for anything in particular on my shell i'll be glad to

Both the DEBUG and the coredump-file would be in the directory your eggdrop is running from (usually where you installed it). The coredump is usually named .core, .core or something similar.

There's a file called doc/BUG-REPORT that tells ya what to do with the coredump (but post it here instead, since we're dealing with an unofficial patch)

I thought IPv6 was pretty popular on IRC... wonder why its taking so long. I wish it was built-in to eggdrop.
It is, in 1.9.

really? how reassuring, given the pace of development

Yes, IPv6 is popular on IRC, but rather on lame (right demond?) IRCnet.

well, yeah, in a sense, although I would rather call it obsolete; that nick/channel delay thing compared to TS on all other major networks is simply out-of-date by years; not to mention the annoying I-line policy which basically screws you up if you happen not to live in a country that runs a server there

as to ipv6, I must concur with nml on that - nowadays it's rather a fashion than something really necessary

Too bad you did'nt get any DEBUG-file or coredump on yer shell..
Would help alot to track down the cause for the crash..
I would guess it's either an unrelated bug, or a different one introduced by that ipv6-patch.

Also, if you can live without ipv6 for dcc, botnets, etc, you could always set up an 6tunnel to connect your bot to that ipv6-server...

The bot just crashed after 8 hours uptime. I really thought it was fixed, because it used to crash every 60 minutes.

The last thing in the log is:
[18:21] * Hostname IPV6 self-lookup failed.

And the quit message:
Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

I think I'm just gonna compile 1.6.18 and stick with that. No cool vhosts for me.

I guess that's in the eye of the beholder
In one way, it's good that there's applications for IPv6, as this most likely results in more IPv6-enabled softwares once deployment picks up the pace.
Tho, for most users, I'd say it's just a gimmick for now.

I'd say, most of the IPv6-ircd's deployed are either part of some development/deployment study, or run bu those ppl who always gotta have the latest stuff, always use alfa/beta-drivers (yeah, I know, I'm exaggerating abit here, but I think you get what I'm getting at

It is, in 1.9. 1.6.x series won't have that feature.

no it's not; there's only a handful of ipv6-enabled servers scattered over the networks

there are many issues with the transition from ipv4 to ipv6, so don't expect this to find its way in the standard eggdrop distribution anytime soon (or ever for that matter)

After rechecking the code it seems I made a mistake. I replaced the wrong 0 with getprotocol. My code now looks exactly like your code. I will post my results.

there is no debug output except for the log but it doesn't log why the bot crashes.

Just one check, realized my instructions was abit unclear on one thing..
After relocating "(Function) getprotocol", how many rows with "(Function) 0" do you have directly following it?

Should be something like this:

Code:

  (Function) file_readable,  (Function) getprotocol,         /* IPv6 leftovers: 286                 */  (Function) 0,                   /* IPv6 leftovers: 287                 */  /* 288 - 291 */  (Function) 0,                   /* IPv6 leftovers: 288                 */  (Function) strip_mirc_codes,  (Function) check_ansi,

Is there any debug output available on the shell?

How far off an ipv6-patch for .18 is? Depends on wether someone is working on one.

okie, i recompiled the bot with the patches you mentioned.

Code:

 [19:50] * Hostname IPV6 self-lookup failed.

I still get this error but the bot loads okay and hasn't crashed yet. Lets see how it behaves over night, I will post my results in the morning. Thanks for the help!
