Just did some testing with up-to-date 16.04 LTS: 1. Initial state: Wi-Fi enabled, but not connected to any network; ethernet is unplugged.
$ nmcli general STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN disconnected none enabled enabled enabled enabled 2. Connect to a SSID that has captive portal: $ nmcli general STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN connected full enabled enabled enabled enabled This means network-manager has put the state to connected and emits a signal of full connectivity, which makes other applications "think" the device is online with full access to the Internet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997200 Title: Test for captive portal before putting applications in online mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/997200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
