[06:04] <Jussi> Alrighty then. Trying to ssh into a server that only has an ipv6 address. googling is only confusing the issue... :/
[06:05] <Jussi> Im getting: "Destination unreachable: No route"
[06:05] <Jussi> Any thoughts on where I may be going wrong?
[06:14] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:20] <Jussi> morning lordievader
[06:23] <OerHeks> does your IPv6 begin with fe80:: ?
[06:27] <lordievader> The link-local address does
[06:27] <lordievader> But you should have another address if you want to be reachable.
[06:27] <Jussi> OerHeks: no.
[06:27] <OerHeks> if so, add %eth0 to the address
[06:28] <OerHeks> oh
[06:28] <Jussi> I did find this decent guide: https://www.linux.com/tutorials/practical-networking-linux-admins-ipv6-routing/ but how does one decide what the new ipv6 address should be?
[06:29] <Jussi> they only give one from the range reserved for exmples and docs
[06:30] <lordievader> Typically you generate an IPv6 address based on the advertised prefix and your mac address.
[06:30] <Jussi> lordievader: mhm... care to give me slightly more info?
[06:31] <lordievader> Do you happen to have the package 'ndisc6' installed?
[06:32] <Jussi> no idea, but checking/installing now
[06:32] <Jussi> now installed
[06:32] <lordievader> Alright, run `rdisc6 -v1 eth0` (assuming your interface is named eth0).
[06:33] <lordievader> If router advertisments are enabled for your network that program requests an advertisement and shows it to you.
[06:34] <Jussi> hrm, so what am I looking for here ?
[06:34] <lordievader> The important part here is the 'Prefix'.
[06:34]  * Jussi scratches head
[06:36] <lordievader> The address your interface generates should fall in this range.
[06:37] <lordievader> What addresses does your interface have?
[06:40] <Jussi>  Source link-layer address: 60:83:34:4C:A5:XX
[06:40] <Jussi>  from fe80::6283:34ff:fe4c:XXXX
[06:41] <Jussi> (mildly obfusicated)
[06:42] <Jussi> Im sorry lordievader, Im really stiill quite confused :)
[06:43] <Jussi> It did say something about timed out...
[06:43] <Jussi> $ rdisc6 -v1 wlp2s0
[06:43] <Jussi> Soliciting ff02::2 (ff02::2) on wlp2s0...
[06:43] <Jussi> Timed out.
[06:45] <lordievader> Wireless? Does your network support ipv6?
[06:48] <Jussi> Oh god... I guess I need to check that. Made a bad assumption...
[07:07] <Jussi> lordievader: seems to be supported via the router settings.
[07:10] <Jussi> although it does say unkown on the ipv6 address in the router status
[07:15] <lordievader> Could you share a screenshot?
[11:20] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
