Thank you for your bug report. That's a known issue upstream, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758312
"If you slide IPv6 to OFF in the gnome-control-center-UI, that corresponds to setting IPv6 to "ignore". There is no "disable" implemented (yet). Probably one day we should have a really "disabled" method (which is bug 746041). For now I reassign this bug to gnome-control-center, because this seems to confuse people. Maybe a tooltip could help there?" ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #758312 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758312 ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #746041 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746041 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777138 Title: disabling ipv6 in network control panel does not disable ipv6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1777138/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
