How to remove the pop up window?

Asked by shenmeijie

I've tried to experience Elementary themes an terminals on my Ubuntu 14.04.

After I installed some programs, there were always a pop-up windows asking me to download Elementary OS, and it crashed immediately. So I can do nothing with it, it takes a lot of places in my screen and drives me mad!

Apologies if I offended somewhere. How can I remove the pop-up window?

I've tried to remove all the things from Elementary OS by PPA-PURGE, and reinstall the Unity, but both didn't work. And I can't decide which job drive the pop-up window.

Can you help me?

You can change the default browser's home page for the second issue (the elementary homepage is just the default home page for the browser).

It seems like someone executing this:

sh -c captive-login 2>/dev/null || sensible-browser start.elementary.org 2>/dev/null

So changing the homepage didn't work.

Thank you for reply as well!

I have changed the /usr/bin/captive-login with a Shell Script, and it's content is

#! /bin/bash
exit

The popup window didn't appear anymore, and it didn't use sensible browser to open start.elementary.org as well.

There's also some problems about it:

1.Which program execute the captive-login?

2.Why does captive-login behaived like that? Is that a bug?

captive-login is executed by Network Manager.

This is most likely a bug. Could you paste the output of `grep CapNetAssist /var/log/syslog` please?

I reinstall the capnet-assist package and remove it, and NetworkManger didn't execute it anymore!

I don't have the package in my system before I reintall it.

Thank your for your reply!

And there's more information about it, someone reports that it only appears on EOS 64-bit.
