Title:
Cannot log in to public open Wifi connection because not being
redirected to login site
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have noticed that Kubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) does not login to
public Wifi hotspots without wifi security, that require login through
a web page. I don't know if this is reproducible on arbitrary public
networks, or only on the few I tried.
The solution was as follows:
- Create file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-debian.conf (you'll
need root or sudo).
- Add the following lines as recommended by Guruprasad
(https://www.lguruprasad.in/blog/2015/07/21/enabling-captive-portal-detection-in-gnome-3-14-on-debian-jessie/):
[connectivity]
uri=http://network-test.debian.org/nm
response=NetworkManager is online
interval=300
- Restart the network manager with service network-manager restart
(will need sudo or root again).
This is a very annoying and unnecessary default behavior it seems.
Maybe a good idea to fix it.
