Re: [opensuse] Can't Update while defaulting to IPv6

Hello,

I can't update via Yast or Zypper, as each are attempting to refresh the
software repositories via IPv6 addresses.

Currently using 12.1, 64-bit. I'm NOT on an IPv6 capable network.

Is there an easy way to resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Adam Sailer

If you are not on an IPv6 capable network there is no need to have IPv6
enabled at all. You can turn it of by going to Yast2 -> Network Devices ->
Network Settings -> Global Options -> uncheck "Enable IPv6" under IPv6
Protocol Settings. You will need to reboot for this setting to take effect.

If you ever do move to an IPv6 capable network in the future you can re-enable
it the same way.
