Just came back from lunch, woke up my manjaro Gnome desktop and now get a full screen ‘Hotspot Login’ web page at http://nmcheck.gnome.org opening in the app ‘Network Login’, at every network connection.
I understand this is how the network manager checks for connection to the internet. And the network connection icon also has a question mark in the system menu (top right of screen), indicating a network problem - but everything is working perfectly. Only the connection check seems to be broken.
Wired connection to the router, no wifi involved.
About to check my manjaro Laptop to see if it has the same problem.
All I changed today is to install the ‘Fractal’ matrix client, wonder if that’s caused this issue…also installed an OpenWRT update on the router yesterday evening…
It does not seem to be Gnome specific: I am having a similar, probably related problem here. All over sudden - without having updates or anything - a one week fresh Manjaro KDE installation displays the notification: “This network requires login” and the W-Lan symbols turns red.
This is however, my private network at home and also, the internet access is working fine. The error is obviously a false one. But where does this come from?
Changing the domain in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf to the GNOME networkcheck domain indeed fixed it for me. Thanks for the heads up.
As cluuub said, editing the /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf solves this issue. As this file was empty/not existing, here’s what I put into it:
“If a default NetworkManager.conf is provided by your distribution’s packages, you should
not modify it, since your changes may get overwritten by package updates. Instead, you can
add additional .conf files to the /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d directory. These will be read
in order, with later files overriding earlier ones. Packages might install further configuration snippets to /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d. This directory is parsed first, even before NetworkManager.conf.”
I’m new to Linux and Manjaro, coming from Windows 7.
And sorry for stupid questions, I also suffer from a severe fatigue syndrome, and can no longer read manuals and long instructions.
Thanks @IceCube, but don’t have Nautilus in gnome, are using Double Commander and Dolphin in Manjaro.
But Nautilus and Dolphin seems to be similar programs.
