Description jeremy9856 2016-08-03 09:31:52 UTC 
Hello,

Disabling ipv6 in Gnome Control Center / Network / "My connection" doesn't work. ifconfig show that an ipv6 is still attributed and the problem I have with ipv6 enabled is still there (gone if I really disable ipv6).

Thanks !

To add more context here is my problem. Gmail is utterly slow in IMAP (evolution, thunderbird, etc...) on my computer unless if I disable ipv6. I had a hard time to figuring it out ! Disabling ipv6 in NetworkManager should be enough I think but that don't change anything. If I'm wrong I will be happy to have an explanation but for now I think it's a bug. 

I use this to disable ipv6 and Gmail is blazing fast: 

/etc/default/grub 
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... ipv6.disable=1" 

Thanks !

Is this fixable ?

Could you provide basic version information and distro information?
Comment 4 jeremy9856 2016-12-12 05:50:55 UTC 
Sure. I'm on Fedora 24 and it's gnome-control-center 3.20.2
