Disabling IPv6 not working

OK, you obviously didn’t read this:

Tip

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

pasted text

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

pasted text

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

But anyway, I don’t have that file:

$ cat /etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf

Yet, I don’t have ipv6 addresses:

$ ip a
[...]
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e0:d5:5e:6a:9b:65 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp0s31f6
    inet 10.0.0.20/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eno1
       valid_lft 597384sec preferred_lft 597384sec

And I use the ipv6.disable_ipv6=1 kernel parameter method. So, you can try that. As a prerequisite, ensure you have the install-grub package installed:

pamac install install-grub

To do so, open /etc/default/grub for editing.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

And in the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT insert ipv6.disable_ipv6=1 before the closing quotation mark. So that the line is somewhat similar to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="[...] ipv6.disable_ipv6=1 [...]"

Save, Ctrl+O, and Exir nano, Ctrl+X.

Then reinstall/update grub:

sudo install-grub

And reboot if there were no errors.
