Ubuntu IPv6 down? How to get around it?

[TangoWhiskey9]

I'm running into an issue. I have IPv6 enabled but I cannot get updates from Ubuntu now. I just installed a new machine and after trying an apt-get update I'm getting:

0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::15)]

And it never moves. Is anyone else having this problem? How can I fix? I even removed IPv6 from /etc/network/interfaces and did service networking restart and rebooted, but it's still trying to get to the IPv6 update domain.

I'm at a loss...

That's strange. I'd have thought Ubuntu would be good at ipv6.

do this as sudo or su -:

nano /etc/sysctl.conf

add this to the end:

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

then:

sudo sysctl -p

While I have seen long-lived IPv6 transit problems in the past (usually dying at/inside Telia), this one might be peculiar to your location or time of event. I can reach that address at this time.

Had the same issue with my ISP for a while
I used this as temp workaround

apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true upgrade
