Description
On WiFi networks that require web-based authentication (captive portals), Linux Mint does not automatically detect the captive portal or open the login page.
The system connects to the WiFi network successfully, but the browser redirect/login page does not appear, and no notification or button is provided to open it.
In my case, I was eventually able to find the URL that the WiFi network wanted to redirect me to after a colleague of mine, who was using Windows, accessed the captive portal and I was able to get the link from there. I signed in on the website and the network worked like any normal network.
I searched for about half an hour to report this to the correct upstream repository and found that the issue is most likely related to NetworkManager:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager
However, GitLab is currently not accepting new account signups, so I am reporting it here instead.
Could you please confirm whether this is the correct component and repository for this issue? If it belongs upstream, I would appreciate it if you could point me to the appropriate place or forward the report if possible.
I am happy to provide any additional information, or answer any questions that may help investigate the issue.
Environment
Linux Mint: 22.3 Cinnamon
Cinnamon: 6.6.7
NetworkManager: 1.46.0-1ubuntu2.7
