How do I programmatically disable “Connectivity Checking”?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
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 /

Thanks for the information. I verified that the same file is updated for me and it is. I haven't tried to actually add it to my dotfiles script yet.

/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-intern.confis internal, it should not be modified, as the code comment there says. If you'd like to edit the setting via config-files, the it's best to put a snippet to/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d. Alternatively, use D-Busbusctl --system set-property org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager ConnectivityCheckEnabled "b" 1which indeed will write the configuration to the internal file.

I just wanted to add that you can also disable the connectivity checking by simply creating an empty file:
sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf
This file will override any settings found in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf.
