Acer Aspire Revo R3610 no IP Address upon bootup

I updated to Beta 4 and installed HQ Player NAA and server but the server seems to refuse to start

Click on the text 'Fail to start'. What does it say?

In beta 4 when you add your license and restart, the license info is lost and has to be re-entered.

Hmm. Perhaps it's the way Snakeoil OS works. From within VNC, after you have registered the HQPlayer license information, can you try and quit the application? HQPLayer may restart automatically or not (can't remember now). And when it restarts, is the license infomation kept? If yes, then it will remember the information from then on.

If not, it looks like a bug in HQPlayer itself.

I was actually talking about the Snakeoil OS license by itself. I enter it but on every reboot I have to re-enter it again. It was working ok with the non-beta build.

I'm starting to think that there's probably something wrong with that computer... Or at least the networking side... Even using DietPi x86 version on it (network works fine) and adding the HQ Player NAA, I'm not seeing it in the Player... Installing on my laptop or RPi2 everything works fine... Could it be some missing features from the network driver from Linux? Would NVidia own driver (non-free) be a better choice?

The network driver is the physical layer, so I doubt it's a problem with Nvidia's driver. Perhaps the IPv6 DHCP client is not installed.

Can you SSH into the machine and run

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y wide-dhcpv6-client

Now reboot the computer and see if it works?

Hadn't have much luck with IPv6 myself because (believe it or not!) my ISP still don't support do IPv6!!!!

-------------
Ok, ran the command and rebooted. I still only see the Link Local IPv6. Anyways, no big deal here. 
Could you add in the Networking tab the IPv6 address along with the IPv4 already displayed?

Would it be best to re-install everything from scratch or it shouldn't change anything?

Thanks and all the best!
