How do I programmatically disable “Connectivty Checking”?

favorite












I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and going through all my dotfile-scripts to properly configure Ubuntu automatically as much as possible. Looping through gsettings I was able to configure most settings as I want them but I haven't found anything in gsettings related to "Connectivity Checking" which is new in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (at least not included in 16.04 LTS).



I can turn off Connectivity Checking through Settings -> Privacy but how can I do this programmatically? Just uninstall network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu? I was able to turn off other privacy settings through gsettings.



Viewing the file list of this package at https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu/filelist indicates that there is just one settings file (/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf) but it does not show any possibility to enable/disable the feature.



Any help is appreciated.

          There is a flag in the file /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-intern.conf that is set to false if you disable the setting in the UI:



          [connectivity] 
          .set.enabled=false


          You can use the tool crudini to set the flag using the command line or a script:



          sudo crudini --set /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-intern.conf "connectivity" ".set.enabled" "false"


          For some reason the ui doesn't get updated until a reboot (didn't test logoff/login).
          Maybe there is some other command line tool that does the change and ensures that the UI gets updated as well.



          btw: I used the following command to get the files that changed recently (only checked /var and ~ so far):



          sudo find /var -newermt "-1 minute" -ls


          There aren't any changes to gsettings. I monitored the settings using this command:



          dconf watch /
