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.

I had to edit sysctl.conf to turn it off

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?"
