Public bug reported:
I was asked to create a new bug for this in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1727237 as it
seems to be a different issue.
I have installed the nightly image of Kubuntu Bionic from 25th of April.
There systemd is in version 237-3ubuntu10.
When connecting to the wifi hotspot in my hotel (Quality Hotel Augsburg)
I cannot open the hotspot landing page that should give me access to the
WIFI. With Windows and on an Iphone it's working.
For the following distributions I can confirm it not working:
Kubuntu 17.10
Kubuntu 18.04 (nightly image 25th of April 2018)
The logs were taken on 18.04.
Workaround:
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
sudo service systemd-resolved stop
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
>> add "dns=default" under [main]
sudo service network-manager restart
Then I can connect to the WIFI and I see the login page in Firefox.
To capture some data I did the following:
- connect to Hotspot
- enter golem.de
Case 1: Fresh default Kubuntu install
With a default Kubuntu install it does not work. I can connect to the WIFI and
get IP and DNS from DHCP but I cannot resolve any hostname. When trying to
open the router ip directly in the browser it forwards to hotsplots.de which
cannot be resolved.
Case 2: With aforementioned Workaround
I connect to the wifi, I open firefox and the login page shows up (if I havent
been connected yet. In the capture I already was able to connect to the hotspot
which allows immediately to connect to the webpage)
PS: I'll be in this hotel till Friday 27th if more information are
required.
