Description Sarah 2018-08-08 19:36:46 UTC
When I try to connect to a wi-fi network that requires that I sign in, I don't get a redirect to their sign in/up webpage.

When I try to connect to the network using the Qt panel in the toolbar, I connect to the network that would normally ask me to sign in to use it, and it connects just fine, but offers no redirect in Chromium (My default browser), and just says any attempt to access a webpage as not having any internet connection.

I noticed this when i was visiting a relative at a hospital that had public wi-fi that only required agreeing to terms to use their wi-fi. I encountered the bug, but my friend who had a different laptop vendor, but the same OS/Version number was able to get the redirect and access the internet.

I've observed that another Kubuntu 18.04.01 laptop is able to access the log in page, and this appears to be some kind of strange software interaction with my laptop's hardware.

I'm running an HP ENVY 17 on Kubuntu 18.04.01 (Latest updates as of 08/08/2018) with this networking hardware:

07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi
0f:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
        Kernel driver in use: r8169
        Kernel modules: r8169
