How to how do I disable ipv6 via grub?

Jun90

I don't know how to disable ipv6 via grub in Solus. I try to follow these instructions, but they don't work for Solus. How should I do it? I don't want to use the sysctl method, also I tried the sysctl method and that didn't work either.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" "ipv6.disable=1"
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

Neither of these work. Disabling ipv6 is required to prevent DNS leaks for my VPN.

Have you tried setting it in /etc/kernel/cmdline.d? https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-management/en/#appending-kernel-parameters-to-solus-boot

I see this command at the link you shared. I don't need to mess with nomodeset...

echo 'nomodeset' | sudo tee /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/40_nomodeset.conf

What kind of conf file should I create in /etc/kernel/cmdline.d, what do I call it, and what should I put in it?

Jun90 You can create multiple .conf for each parameter just like in the example or just put all your kernel parameters, separated by space to one /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/konpeitoorsomethingyoulike.conf.
