** Description changed:

  I have noticed that Kubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) does not login to
  public Wifi hotspots without wifi security, that require login through a
  web page. I don't know if this is reproducible on arbitrary public
  networks, or only on the few I tried.
  
  The solution was as follows:
  - Create file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-debian.conf (you'll 
need root or sudo).
  - Add the following lines as recommended by Guruprasad 
(https://www.lguruprasad.in/blog/2015/07/21/enabling-captive-portal-detection-in-gnome-3-14-on-debian-jessie/):
  
  [connectivity]
  uri=http://network-test.debian.org/nm
  response=NetworkManager is online
  interval=300
  
  - Restart the network manager with service network-manager restart (will
  need sudo or root again).
  
  This is a very annoying and unnecessary default behavior it seems. Maybe
  a good idea to fix it.
