3) What I expected to happen is when I opened up Help via the icon in
top left and migrated to:
"5.2.7. IPv6 Not Supported
- 1. IPv6 is supported by default in Ubuntu and can sometimes cause problems.
- 2. To disable it, open a Terminal (Applications ▸ Accessories ▸ Terminal)
and type the command: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.
- 3. Find the line alias net-pf-10 ipv6 and change it to read alias
net-pf-10 off.
- 4. Reboot Ubuntu."
+ 1. IPv6 is supported by default in Ubuntu and can sometimes cause problems.
+ 2. To disable it, open a Terminal (Applications ▸ Accessories ▸ Terminal)
and type the command: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.
+ 3. Find the line alias net-pf-10 ipv6 and change it to read alias
net-pf-10 off.
+ 4. Reboot Ubuntu."
I would follow the recommendations and I could disable IPv6.
4) What happened instead is that it tells me to open the file aliases in
the directory etc/modprobe.d but no such file exists:
n...@name-laptop:~$ cd /etc/modprobe.d
n...@name-laptop:/etc/modprobe.d$ dir
alsa-base.conf blacklist-firewire.conf
blacklist-watchdog.conf
blacklist-ath_pci.conf blacklist-framebuffer.conf libpisock9.conf
blacklist.conf blacklist-modem.conf
blacklist-fglrx.conf blacklist-oss.conf
