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 Desktop Packages, 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 Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If I select "disable" on the IPV6, I can see that it is still acquiring an IPV6 address, and that apt is still attempting to use IPV6, even though I have disabled.
