Bug Description
Impact
------
Ubuntu is supposed to show a browser popup window when a user connects to a network with a "captive portal". The popup window makes it easy for the user to log in or accept the user agreement.
This popup window was broken and doesn't currently show up in Ubuntu 22.10.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This fix is included in the upstream gnome-shell 43.1. For more information about this update, see LP: #1997481
Original Bug Report
-------------------
After an upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to 20.10 NetworkManager no longer recognizes captive portals.
Attempting to run /usr/libexec/
(process:166068): Gjs-CRITICAL **: 19:25:08.053: JS ERROR: ImportError: No JS module 'fileUtils' found in search path
@resource:
@<main>:1:14
This may be normal because of the environment, but it is the best I have to go on now.
