And by the way, I'm running openSuse Factory, while the original poster has this problem on 11.4.
what does "/sbin/sysctl -A|grep disable_ipv6" give back
It gives back nothing. With "ipv6.disable=1" on the grub command line.
and you are running the command as "root"
yes, as root. I did another reboot, nothing changes.
did you try with out the grub option because I can't seem to find a logic to understand why mine and Werner's method both fail unless it is not openSUSE :)
Togan I think its like this: With "ipv6.disable=1" on the grub command line the file /proc/sys/net/ipv6 is missing which sysctl tries to access. Thus 'sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf' cannot apply IPv6 options and '/sbin/sysctl -A' shows no IPv6' does not list ipv6 ioptions for the same reason.
I suppose IPv6 is in fact disabled on my machine and wireshark is able to interprete IPv6 packages (which do not originate from my machine) by directly grabbing them from the ethernet driver. Bug 684201 comment #8 inspired me to do nslookup -query=aaaa download.opensuse.org Result: Server: 192.168.178.1 Address: 192.168.178.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: download.opensuse.org has AAAA address 2001:67c:2178:8::13 Thus my router's DNS responds to IPv6 queries. But what makes zypper or glibc (2.13-66.10.x86_64) attempt to use IPv6 while my net interface has an IP4 address?
