How to disable IPv6 in windows subsystem for linux

 

A error occurred when I use some command apt  in windows subsystem for linux like this :"Assertion `IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED (sin6->sin6_addr.s6_addr32)' failed". 

I hope you that you haven't reinstall WSL or windows 10. Althougt I don't know why this happen, I suggest that you to disable IPv6 for linux or windows for most effectivitely. You can try one of the method of these:

 

1.To disable IPv6 for windows 10 in control panel(you can google how to do it). this operation will remove all ipv6 configurations, be careful!

 

2.To disable IPv6 for linux :(didn't work for WSL cause it do not have a linux kernel)

• Edit grub

sudo vi /etc/default/grub
