LOL! So I am biting the bullet and FINALLY allowing all my machines to use IPv6. I have enabled it on the router and so far so good. Mint 18.3 and Ubuntu 16.04 (a server) are happy and have accepted the change quite well. Gallium, on the other hand, has not. I have IPv6 enabled in network connections and ifconfig shows:

This usually takes about 15 or so mins to complete because of the ipv6 not wanting to work.
However- if I run:
Code:
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true upgrade
It works just fine like it "normally" would.
ipv6-test.com/speedtest/ Shows that it will not connect to IPv6.
Anyone know how to better troubleshoot this lack of connectability?
Thanks!

Marking as solved....
