Hmmm, unable to reproduce it here. I'll try some more tomorrow, but any additional information you have on how it occurred would be appreciated. I just installed it from pirut and launched it from the games menu, didn't do anything unusual so I don't know what more information I can give you If I have a network connection it works without problems. But with no network, it doesn't work. The server starts, but connecting to "localhost" fails. If I try to connect to "127.0.0.1" instead it works. In FC6 ipv6 is standard and /etc/hosts maps "localhost" to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1". The problem could be lack of ipv6 support in freeciv. I should note that I do have a network connection, but it still cannot start a server and connect to it. If I don't have a network connection it does not work correctly. If I have a network connection it depends... If the network connection is leased from a DHCP server that sets the hostname of the computer freeciv works. If the network connection is leased from a DHCP server that does not set the hostname of the computer (i.e. the hostname is still localhost) freeciv does not work. In this case freeciv tries to connect to the ipv6 address "::1" and faile. When the normal startup doesn't work I can still start freeciv by first starting a server, and then start a client but selecting "start networked game" and enter 127.0.0.1 (which is the ipv4 localhost) as the server hostname. This has to be entered numerically since "localhost" is mapped to "::1" (i.e. the ipv6 localhost). To me this really points to that the bug is caused by lack of ipv6 support in freeciv. In my particular case the problem was that I had deselected ipv6 support during installation, but my /etc/hosts file still contained the ipv6 line and not the ipv4 line for localhost. Changing the localhost line to 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost solved the problem. (ping localhost also didn't work) Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
