Hey cool, I just configured it: root@ubuntu-phablet:~# tail /var/log/syslog -f | grep connectivity Nov 23 22:58:03 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1774]: [1543010283.5003] connectivity: check: send periodic request to 'http://connectivity-check.ubuntu.com/' Nov 23 22:58:03 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1774]: [1543010283.8697] connectivity: check for uri 'http://connectivity-check.ubuntu.com/' with Status header successful.

So we could work with this version already. But a question, can it also be triggered on any connection going down / being changed? If I disable/reenable WiFi the connection check should take place immediately...

Re: Unable to add IPv6 address?
Oh and here is the tracking issue from us: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/116 - I can see now that it was at least an issue on 2 devices, with more or less different kernel versions.

What is the version of NetworkManager, and which kernel? https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf It's probably not directly related to mobile, but IPv6 in general. best, Thomas signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
Unable to add IPv6 address?
Hello again, this seems to be phone specific for some reason, but we dont know why. We cannot add IPv6 addies on the mobile: Nov 23 22:23:46 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1774]: [1543008226.9182] platform-linux: netlink: recvmsg: error message from kernel: Invalid argument (22) for request 1653 Nov 23 22:23:46 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1774]: [1543008226.9188] platform-linux: do-add-ip6-address[21: 2a02:8388:8980:e700:9c4b:f32a:6c81:df77]: failure 22 (Invalid argument) I found only very few informations about this.

Re: NetworkManager for Ubuntu Touch
Hello Lubomir, great to get you feedback so quickly! And we are happy that you have good news for us already in the first mail :) Let me summarize this quickly here, and I will come back and be more specific when I have more infos on your questions: - We are still using unity8 as shell, and there is indicator-network basically displaying that status of WiFi and radio network and allowing to operate the network connections, enable flight mode etc. Its a new development made specifically for unity8 if I remember right. And it should be able to talk to D-Bus. Debian wants to use them in the so-called Ayatana indicators package, too. - Regarding builds: The real issue is the rather tight coupling between the Ubuntu root fs and the Android container which is started at boot time. So far we are not able to just start Ubuntu Touch without it. A lot of scripts and magic wait for the successful bringup of the container. Moreover, some things just dont build correctly for amd64, but do for armhf. We are working form time to time to get it more sanitized, for example you could install unity8 shell with the indicators probably also on a normal PC already. Maybe thats enough? - The captive portal detection I tried to configure manually for my device, but since nothing is listening to that event, I cannot tell if it works properly or not. I might be able to hook up tcpdump or so on the device to see if he is querying on change of network. So if thats already in for ages, I hope we can use it right away ;) - What we currently see sometimes is a long switchover time between radio and WiFi. Is it NM trying to hold on for the WiFi connection for a longer time? What also can happen is that the DNS servers dont get updated, and when you come from WiFi you have a reall long interval without having DNS lookups. FYI here is our packaging for NM: https://github.com/ubports/network-manager-packaging/ I will talk with my guys how we can make a bit more Q with you guys, have a ncie weekend until then!
