NetworkManager connectivity check fails

[Matthias Harter]

I randomly receive "No internet connection available" notification, even if my internet connection is stable. (Not the exact term)

In /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf the endpoint
http://connectivity-check.ubuntu.com./
is used. I manually pinged the endpoint.
I live in europe and the server is located in the US. The latency is about 160ms. Usually I have an approximate latency of 15ms.
It is not a problem of my ISP, I receive this notification on different locations in Germany and Switzerland.

I propose to use another endpoint or provide another server for the same endpoint for europe.
So the DNS servers in europe provide the IP of a server located in europe.

The config comes from the package "network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu" version 1.32.12-0ubuntu1.

Hello??

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Matthias Harter (hartimcwildfly)]

Still a problem in latest Ubuntu.

Could be transient issues with one of the servers as described in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/network-manager-connectivity-check-problem/ though we haven't got reports of the problem recently...
