I have network-manager and nm-applet installed on arch linux. I'm using Gnome desktop. When I try to set-up hotspot using GUI I get an error stating "Activation of network failed". This is what I have in my /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection/Hotspot [connection] id=Hotspot uuid=00b96273-0d3d-4430-bacc-280f2cd0c19d type=wifi autoconnect=false permissions= secondaries= [wifi] hidden=false mac-address=AC:B5:7A:85:D2:DA mac-address-blacklist= mac-address-randomization=0 mode=ap seen-bssids= ssid=name [wifi-security] group=ccmp; key-mgmt=wpa-psk pairwise=ccmp; proto=rsn; psk=password [ipv4] dns-search= method=shared [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search= method=auto I tried connecting using nmcli con up id Hotspot but it gave me the same error. I made sure the extra services like network.service or net-auto-wireless.service are disabled (They were already disabled). Can anyone help me setting up a hotspot with network-manager. Thanks in advance.
