I have the latest systemd recommended by #1727237, and this issue still occurs at Starbucks as well. The Starbucks WIFI defect is #1767900 which appears to be a duplicate of this one.
ii systemd 237-3ubuntu10 amd64 system and service manager I'm in a Starbucks now. #1727237 (the systemd above) does not fix my issue. aruba.odyssys.net is still not resolved using the stub- resolv.conf file (linked from /etc/resolv.conf). cd /etc sudo /bin/rm resolv.conf sudo /bin/ln -s ../run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf resolv.conf Using the original resolv.conf however, as per the changes above, does work. I did not make any changes to /etc/hosts. The real resolv.conf above contains the google nameservers and is sufficient to resolve aruba.odyssys.net. nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 search home -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766969 Title: DNS cannot be resolved in Hotel Hotspot Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
