[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1581695] Re: getifaddrs: Address family not supported by protocol

[Peter Maydell]

We got netlink sockets working for linux-user over the course of 2016,
and "ip addr" now works for me with a 32-bit arm chroot. This should be
fixed in QEMU 2.10.

Title:
  getifaddrs: Address family not supported by protocol

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Calling ip addr fails with the following error message:
  Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol

  
  My use case is running a docker raspberry pi arm container on Ubuntu 14.04 
x64 with qemu-static.

  My steps to reproduce are the following:

  # docker pull philipz/rpi-raspbian:latest
  # docker run -it --rm -v /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static:/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static 
philipz/rpi-raspbian bash
  address@hidden:/# ip addr
  Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol

  A fix or an workaround would be awesome.

  note: we are also working with a embedded arm distro which has no
  package manager available, would be nice if the workaround would not
  depend on apt-get
