Unable to create wifi-hotspot on Raspberry Pi 3 #46

Closed andber1 closed 8 months ago

andber1 commented 2 years ago

The raspberry only has a wlan interface, no ethernet. I want to create a wifi hotspot on the raspberry so that I can connect to the raspberry from other devices (e.g. via ssh). I tried the following command: sudo lnxrouter -n --ap wlan0 MyAccessPoint --no-virt Beforehand I disabled wifi via sudo rfkill block wifi.

I can see the message Setting up completed.... The hotspot is present for a few seconds, but then disappears. After a few seconds I get this message: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.178.28: Address already in use However, the used IP address is 192.168.19.1 and DHCP range is 192.168.19.10 - 192.168.19.250.

Am I using lnxrouter wrong, do I have to configure something beforehand or is this a bug? Thanks very much for any help.

Please provide more log:

  1. full log of lnxrouter running (use lnxrouter -g 192.168.19.1 to have a fixed ip)
  2. sudo ss -tulpn
  3. ip addr
  4. ip route

I should mention that wlan0 is used for internet connection on the raspberry (ip range 192.168.178.0/24 is my local network with internet connection). I want to create a hotspot on wlan0 without internet connection instead. I tried to disable wlan0 via sudo rfkill block wifi and sudo systemctl disable wpa_supplicant. But creating a hotspot still does not work. The raspberry image is untouched, only wlan was configured for internet connection.

Here the logs: 1.

In your ss log

"dnsmasq",pid=1173
"dnsmasq",pid=471

In lnxrouter log

 dnsmasq[1735]: failed to create listening socket for 169.254.72.198

The system may be serving DNS using dnsmasq, which may cause conflict. (3 different dnsmasq PIDs above) Try terminate some system services ( systemd stop dnsmasq.service? I'm not sure) till the ss output doesn't show any dnsmasq or :53

Thanks very much for your help. I have to stop dnsmasq and dhcpcd. This works now:

sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd.service
sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq.service
sudo lnxrouter -n --ap wlan0 MyAccessPoint --no-virt --country DE -g 192.168.19.1
