Why Mageia Linux 7 RC 1 (updated 25 June 2019), does not have IPv6-only? IPv6-only - according to: -> IPv6-ready: RFC 8200 - Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6) Specification - (July 2017): https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8200 - > DHCPv6: RFC 8415 - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) - (November 2018): https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8415 -> ND RDNSS: RFC 8106 - IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration - (March 2017): https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8106 More information: Comparison of IPv6 support in operating systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IPv6_support_in_operating_systems To add Mageia Linux to Wikipedia: Comparison of IPv6 support in operating systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IPv6_support_in_operating_systems Reference should be made, either by documentation or with the approval in IPv6 Ready Logo Program Approved List - Phase-2: https://www.ipv6ready.org/db/index.php/public/ More information: openSUSE Linux Leap 42.1: Add support for IPv6-only, in Wikipedia. https://features.opensuse.org/320007 Thank you!

IPv6 Supported Type Native IPv6 SLAAC Yes ICMP Not tested Hostname None Default IPv6 Fallback to IPv4 in < 1 second DNS4 + IP6 Reachable DNS6 + IP4 Reachable DNS6 + IP6 Reachable 1. Reconfigure your firewall Your router or firewall is filtering ICMPv6 messages sent to your computer. An IPv6 host that cannot receive ICMP messages may encounter problems like some web pages loading partially or not at all. 2. Enable privacy extensions Your IPv6 address was obtained through SLAAC and can leak private information to the websites you visit. You should enable IPv6 privacy extensions in your operating system settings. More information: https://ipv6-test.com/ Notes: Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor SLAAC cannot automatically configure unicast IPv6 addresses. Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor ND RDNSS cannot automatically configure name servers in an IPv6-only environment.

What do you think?
(In reply to drivalinux from comment #5) > What do you think? I would be against ipv6 default install until Frontier FIOS and Spectrum Cable both provide IPV6 addresses here in Dallas Texas and you buy me four new security cameras and five silicondust dual network TV tuners that support ipv6. :)

I would add to comment #6 that it would be better to disable IPV6 by default. Mixing IPV4 and IPv6 leads to many timeout on Plasma on our local LAN. I am not a network administrator, but it looks like something is waiting for an IPv6 DNS, when IPv6 is not disabled. The first thing I do when installing Mageia is to disable IPv6...

This bug report confuses me. "Mageia 7 Final: Will it support IPv6-only, installed and enabled by default?" IPv6-only sounds like "only IPv6, so no IPv4" I've been using Ipv6 since many years, it works fine in Mageia. I never needed to install or enable it, because that is all taken care of when installing Mageia. On my Mageia systems, Mageia always prefers IPv6 connections. That must be a Mageia default, because I never changed any related setting. We don't, yet, consider dropping IPv4. Too many of our users (me included) need it, because there are still websites, servers etc. that can only be reached via IPv4. As for the wikipedia page: feel free to update it :-)

I understand. Mageia Linux should work on dual stack: Full-IPv4 and Full-IPv6. I could update Wikipedia, but for that, I would need to have Mageia Linux documentation on IPv6 compatibility, and the only documentation related to the subject is here: Add IPv6 and NetworkManager compatibility to network drakx tools Percentage of completion: 3% More information: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:NetworkDrakToolsImprovements The documentation compatibility with IPv6, is only at: 3%. Mageia Linux must have support Full-IPv6 documented, or is on this list: https://www.ipv6ready.org/db/index.php/public/ My reference for testing on Mageia Linux is openSUSE Linux 15, which is hybrid with SUSE Linux Enterprise 15, which supports dual stack: Full-IPv4 and Full-IPv6, and support: IPv6-only, is on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IPv6_support_in_operating_systems and is in the list: https://www.ipv6ready.org/db/index.php/public/ More information: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Native_IPv6 and https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.network.html and https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/html/book.opensuse.startup/cha.boot_parameters.html#sec.boot_parameters.advanced Thank you!
Mageia Linux, you must have support: IPv6-only. IPv4 address exhaustion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion and https://ipv4.potaroo.net/ IPv6-only seems to be inaccessible or difficult to be supported, but with a lot of work, Mageia Linux will be able to do it, I'm here believing in Mageia Linux. I'm since a former Conectiva Linux user, so Mageia Linux, has a nostalgic connection for me. In 2018: openSUSE Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise, reached the same level as Fedora Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, in 2019, are considered the largest Linux distributions in the world. Now (2019), Mageia Linux, also needs to get to that level: https://linuxreviews.org/Mageia_7_RC_released and https://linuxreviews.org/Mageia
Mageia has to support both ipv4 and ipv6. I'm one of the people for whom ipv6 is not yet available, so I disable it to speed up booting of my system. While the future is ipv6, until ipv4 is no longer of any use, it must still be supported. I'm closing this bug report as invalid. It's a policy decision, not a bug.

OK. I understand. Thank you!
