Re: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive
Hey Guys, I'm at a coffee shop right now. Panera in Kalamazoo, MI, USA. Toshiba Laptop Satellite A205-S5804 with mem upgrade to 2Gb. Starting from Windows. The wireless network is automatically recognized with tray icon indicating www conection. I start Internet explorer and instead of my google search home page this one appears: http://paneralogin6.wanderingwifi.com/login After clicking the login button the next page is: http://www.panerabread.com/wifi/connected/home.php?bc=3724pid=1 After that I can click the home button to get to my home page. Restarting Windows and using Google Chrome gave the same results with the exception of an error report for the missing Adobe Flash plugin. Clicking login got me to the second page and on to www. I then downloaded Firefox for windows ver 3.5.7. During install I said no to make firefox the defaul and clicked import nothing from user settings. After installation I said yes to start firefox and it was able to go on the web directly without going through the panera login. (I included the above step to show there must be some authentication of the computer rateher than the broser from the login process After restarting Windows again I launched Firefox. This took me to the panera loging. Clicking login button brought me to the 2nd panera page and then I was able to go into www. Next I will try using the Freshly installed Ubuntu 9.10 with all updates ( as of morning 21Jan10) installed as dual boot on the internal HD. --- On Wed, 1/20/10, Vish drkv...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Vish drkv...@yahoo.com Subject: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive To: arts...@yahoo.com Date: Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 12:00 PM @artsci2 : I'm marking bug incomplete for now.

Re: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive
(Continued from my previous message this morning.) I will try using the Freshly installed Ubuntu 9.10 with all updates ( as of morning 21Jan10) installed as dual boot on the internal HD. After booting Ubuntu I had to go up to the toobar icon and drop down the menue for connecting to the wireless network. This seemed to work quickly and without errors. Starting Firefox gave the usual default local home page: http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ I then tried to go to www.google.com by typing directly into the address bar. This generated a redirection to the Panera login Screen. Something that did not happen previously. Clicking the login button brought me to the second Panera page and onto WWW. I was then able to get to www.google.com. Before rebooting I tested Epiphany and Galeon web browsers. Epiphany went directly to WWW and Galeon poped up with a warning that myportal is not a registered protocol. Clicking OK left Galeon with myportal: in the address bar. I typed in www.google.com and was able to do a google search. To test that an attempt at reaching the WWW is triggering redirection to the Panera login, I set the homepage in Firefox to www.google.com and restarted the computer. This time the wireless was automatically recognized and when I started Firefox the Panera login page came up. 'Went to 2nd Panera page and on to WWW. --- On Wed, 1/20/10, Vish drkv...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Vish drkv...@yahoo.com Subject: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive To: arts...@yahoo.com Date: Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 12:00 PM @artsci2 : I'm marking bug incomplete for now.

[Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive
@artsci2: Just a note http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ is a locally cache page. Displaying the page wont need connection to internet. Whereas if you use www.google.com or any other web page as your homepage , it will need to connect to the internet. Hence you are not facing the redirection with http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ . If you set any other web page as your home page it will redirect. So , If I understood you correctly, it is now working correctly if you use any page other than http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ ? -- Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492349 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive
Next test is on a bootable pen drive created from this U 9.10 live disk. Media is a Sandisk 8Gig. After unsucessful attemp to fomat using the USB creator I wnet to Gparted and deleted the partition and created a new ext2 primary. Then trying USB creator a volume needs to be formatted message appeared regarding the /dev/sbc. I was met with DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found again after clicking the Format button. Selecting the second choice, /dev/sdc1, in the Disk to Use menue gives a not enough free space message. Clicking format caused the . Damn! it seems the problem was that a file browser window was open from the previous step. I closed it and the format completed. Now the /dev/sdc1 choice has returned and it's showing 7.5Gig with 7.5 free space. Clicking Make Startup Disk resulted in a startup disk completed you can now boot on other computers message. So I restarted and pressed F12 to select the USB drive. The system restarted and I needed to pull down the menu for networks and select Panera again it connected very quickly without errors. Starting Firefox the page that wasopened was the locally stored file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html That came after some address that starts with chrome. Trying www.google.com was redirected to the Panera login page... .duuuh So, it looks like you guys fixed the issue I was crying about or I was just doing something wrong in my first few attempts last month. --- On Thu, 1/21/10, Vish drkv...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Vish drkv...@yahoo.com Subject: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive To: arts...@yahoo.com Date: Thursday, January 21, 2010, 11:44 AM @artsci2: Just a note http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ is a locally cache page.

@artsci2 OK, If I understand it correctly, you're just suggesting that when FF is started, it automatically display the login screen immediately? I assumed you also wanted the system to automatically start the browser when a connect to a proxy-protected sight occurs. If it's the former ( browser auto-displays login screen when connected to coffee-shop-proxy-protected AP ), then this is reported against the wrong package, it should be a bug against FF. -- Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492349 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not sure if this is really something network-manager can handle... NM only knows that it's connected to an AP, and that IP address assignment has happened... In essence, what you're suggesting is that when a user connects to an access point protected by a proxy requiring login, that the system automatically start a web browser, forcing the login screen to display right away.

Re: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive
How it works here is not quite what you are saying. The wireless connecion is auto detectedand then the connecion is established when I select connect. It's only when I open the web browser in windows my homepage seeting is somhow ignored and insead the login page for Panera coffee shop pops up. I hen click the login buton and a second panera page appears. Only atfer that second page appears can I succesfully go to my homepage. Is there a way I can record the traffic as I log in on windows to send you guys for a look? Maybe one of you would recocnize the command ha makes he web browser ignore its home page setting? Could i be that the default homepage on Ub is an offline page so the process is not triggered when opening the web brouser at the coffee shop? I'm up in a forest wih only a small town which has no Panera coffee shop so I can't try it till Monday... I reported this because it's a litle embarrassing to show off a better system than windows and have the firs step (ataching to wireless internet) be so clunky with cut and pasing of adresses hat I could only get by using windows. --- On Wed, 1/13/10, Tony Espy e...@canonical.com wrote: From: Tony Espy e...@canonical.com Subject: [Bug 492349] Re: Connecting at public WiFi when using bootable pen drive To: arts...@yahoo.com Date: Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 2:01 PM I'm not sure if this is really something network-manager can handle...
