ionic start hangs on Ubuntu 20 virtual machine

[joeczucha]

Description:

Ionic fails to start on an Ubuntu 20 virtual machine

Steps to Reproduce:

• In Parallels, create a fresh Ubuntu 20 virtual machine using the offical Ubuntu image
• Install NVM and use this to install NodeJS
• Install Ionic using npm install -g @ionic/cli
• Run ionic start in an empty directory

Output:

$ ionic start --verbose

ionic:lib CLI global options: { _: [ 'start' ], help: null, h: null, verbose: true, quiet: null, interactive: true, color: true, confirm: null, json: null, project: null, '--': [] } +3ms

My ionic info:

$ ionic info
[WARN] You are not in an Ionic project directory. Project context may be missing.

Ionic:

  Ionic CLI : 6.18.1

Utility:

  cordova-res : not installed globally
  native-run  : not installed globally

System:

  NodeJS : v14.17.5
  npm    : 8.1.2
  OS     : Linux 5.4

Other Information:

I tried running it in /tmp/ionic as this directory is not mounted from the host system but the same thing occurs.

The address that it fails on is the IPv6 address of the primary (virtual) network adapter, enp0s5.
