The installer tells me to connect to electra.infradead.org:1 with VNC. This fails, for two reasons. Firstly, the installer is only listening on the Legacy IP socket and not IPv6. Secondly, vncviewer isn't conforming to IPv6 and falling back to Legacy IP when the IPv6 connection fails. Giving vncviewer the Legacy IP address explicitly works fine.
The above should read 'conforming to RFC3484'. I suck today. I think I shall declare the week to be finished now.
Would it be possible test improved viewer from http://kojiweb.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=553863, please? Make Xvnc IPv6 capable needs more work and it is not ready yet (I guess it will be ready to F10)
