Needs an explanation. Udev is the only thing that will turn a temp failure permanent, until you edit the rule at least. > it would probably be better for > the IPv6 failure message to say "IPv6 connection failed, trying IPv4." > I couldn't agree more. Software error messages in general, suck, rarely telling the user what really happened. I KNOW I have no ipv6 connectivity, and likely won't for the rest of my life since I've already used up 83 of my 3 score and 10. Thats the choice I made when I married an old maid school teacher 29 years ago this winter. We will both die in the town she was born in. County seat, pop about 5500. Small towns are the heart of this country, we've got good neighbors. Shopping locally is limited, but stuff I need as an aging nerd is less than an hour away, or can be had off the net. Living someplace where I had to lock up like Fort Knox just to go have a cuppa with the next door neighbor is something I'd fix by moving someplace where door locks are optional, there, but seldom used. Here they often stand open while we go to the store for milk, whatever, and coffee.
