[Bug 1446763] Re: There should be a mechanism to detect login-protected WiFis

 

I'm not very knowledgeable on 'captive portals' but since I was in fact
able to connect to the internet/use a web browser, I think that the
first bug (1245878) is no the same. My issue isn't that the connection
wasn't ultimately possible, but that the Ubuntu One sign up process
ignored that the connection had been established.

Bug description:
  On first boot of the BQ device, I connected to a wifi point that
  requires the user to accept Terms and Conditions before making the
  internet available (although the user does have a wifi connection to
  the hotspot).

  Settings -> Accounts -> Ubuntu One signin reported an error (network
  or signing, I can't remember).

  I returned to the browser which led me to the routers page for
  accepting their T's & C's and the connection became available (I could
  now browse the web).

  Returning to the Ubuntu One signin screen, I re-entered my
  authentication details but got the same error continuously. Rebooting
  solved the issue.

  EXPECTED:
  After establishing the connection, Ubuntu One account signin should have recognised that a connection had become available.
