Just downloaded a fresh ipfs binary and cannot run the daemon. No matter what port I try, I get a bind error. ``` $ wget https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.4.17/go-ipfs_v0.4.17_linux-amd64.tar.gz $ tar xvfz go-ipfs_v0.4.17_linux-amd64.tar.gz $ cd go-ipfs $ sudo ./install.sh $ ipfs init $ ipfs daemon Initializing daemon...

@stebalien ``` $ netstat | grep 5001 $ ss -n -l -A tcp -p | grep ':5001' ``` I’m almost positive this is some weird fedora thing because I’ve had no problem with IPFS on Ubuntu both 16 & 18. ---

Ok, I just tried on a fresh Fedora inside a virtual machine and the daemon started with no trouble. This is definitely some weird issue with my machine. I’ll try some fedora specific forums… ---

Ah, I know what happened. You’re loopback interface didn’t have an IPv4 address. If you take a look at the “swarm listening on” messages, you’ll see `::1` (IPv6 loopback) but not `127.0.0.1`. ---
