Lenovo X1 Carbon 7gen can't connect to starbucks wifi

Hello. I can't seem to connect to the wifi network at Starbucks. I don't mean trying to trigger the captive portal to sign in. I mean I can't even connect to the open network at all. (Other wifi networks do work.)

The attempt times out after a while and I get a desktop notification that says.

Connection Failed
Activation of network connection failed

Here are some of the logs I saw while waiting. I got these from journalctl -f.

I don't have systemd-resolved or systemd-networkd running. I completely rely on NetworkManager for DNS and DHCP.

Just ran into the same issue today.  Was wondering if anyone had more info as to cause/fix.  Looks like there's a Debian bug open about this as well:  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=947283

Try using dhclient as client instead of dhcpcd -- see if there's any difference.

Re: Lenovo X1 Carbon 7gen can't connect to starbucks wifi

For what it's worth, I am also having this issue, with the same notebook, on our corporate network. I'm going to try using dhclient tomorrow and see if it solves the issue. At one point, NetworkManager worked without workaround. I wonder if it is a regression in NetworkManager.

EDIT:
Emitting the following into /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-dhcp.conf worked as per the bug tracker link.

[main]
dhcp=systemd

Re: Lenovo X1 Carbon 7gen can't connect to starbucks wifi

Here to say I had the same issue. Seems like it has to do with NetworkManager's internal dhcp client. Adding 'dhcp=dhcpcd' under the [main] header in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf allowed it to connect. I'm sure dhclient would work as well.

[main]
dhcp=dhcpcd

EDIT: To clarify, you need to have the 'dhcpcd' or 'dhclient' package installed if you wanna use those values in NetworkManager's configuration.
