> Disable IPv6 now and work towards getting a compatibility check in place with clear and simple procedures for the users.
IPv6 is used in many university, some company networks. New routers (e.g. the new Apple Airport Extreme) give you an 6to4 address automatically. Disabling would remove an often used feature. Automatically detecting the router problem at installation is also not possible since many computers move between networks. I don't think that there is a solution which works without educating the user: manually disabling IPv6 in a GUI when the problem occurs or update the firmware of the user. While the former is easier I think the latter is the better long-term solution. In any case it would be good if a list of affected routers and firmware versions exists. It would help understanding better how many people are really affected and would be a needed to educate users. -- IPv6 should be disabled by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/24828 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
