```

"Tilapäinen virhe nimenselvityksessä" means "Temporary error in name resolution". I think this is caused by this laptop being wirelesss and not having network connectivity when systemd starts miredo.

I believe the fix would be making miredo.service require network-online.target, see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/

I tried editing the unit file and replacing network.target with network-online.target worked.

```
% cat /etc/systemd/system/miredo.service
[Unit]
Description=Teredo IPv6 tunneling
After=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/miredo-checkconf -f /etc/miredo/miredo.conf
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/miredo -f
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

```

(REMOVED is not part of the output, I removed the real addresses from those spots.)

[Dainius 'GreatEmerald' Masiliūnas (pastas4)]

Confirmed, both the problem and the workaround, and it's present upstream too. The issue is described here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/
Requiring only network.target means requiring NetworkManager to start, but not requiring DNS to be up; since miredo is started before DNS is up, and it can't cope with it, the result is failure.

The possible solutions/workarounds are: 1) As per above, require network-online.target (one can use /etc/systemd/system/miredo.service.d/network-online.conf or similar override instead of editing the whole file); 2) Enable NetworkManager-wait-online (not recommended as it slows down boot); 3) Fix Miredo to wait for DNS to be up by itself.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Gannet (ken20001)]

It's a pity but adding

network-online.target worked

to

/etc/systemd/system/miredo.service

doesn't work for me.

I've changed name address to IP after which Miredo starts well.

[Romik Forest (forest-software)]

I've wrote in /etc/miredo/miredo.conf

# Pick a Teredo server:
#ServerAddress teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com
#ServerAddress teredo-debian.remlab.net
ServerAddress 83.170.6.76 # ip of teredo-debian.remlab.net

And in /etc/network/if-up.d/miredo

if [ "$ADDRFAM" = "ipx" ] || [ "$ADDRFAM" = "inet6" ]; then
exit 0
fi

replaced for

if [ "$ADDRFAM" = "ipx" ] || [ "$ADDRFAM" = "inet6" ]; then
ip -6 route add default dev teredo; exit 0
fi

to have miredo working on ubuntu 16.04 and 15.10

[Gannet (ken20001)]

Still not fixed in 17.10.

[Gannet (ken20001)]

Still is in Bionic.
