Ubuntu 20.04 wpa_cli 2.9 doesn't start

[leopck]

Just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and now I'm trying lazycast, but it seems that Ubuntu 20.04 is using wpa_cli v2.9 and it doesn't seem to start, it just keeps looping without giving the pin.

After some investigation, it's really weird.

result=$(sudo wpa_cli p2p_group_add -i$p2pdevinterface persistent$perstr $wlanfreq)

Result shows OK, however, sudo wpa_cli interface, doesn't show the p2p-wlp1s0, only the devinterface. I've left it to run multiple times, and rebooted but still doesn't seem to add the p2p-wlp1s0 only the dev interface.

$ sudo wpa_cli interface
Selected interface 'p2p-dev-wlp1s0'                     
Available interfaces:                                                   
p2p-dev-wlp1s0                                                            
wlp1s0

I experimented it a little bit and it seems like the problem is not easy to solve. It seems that Ubuntu does not create the GO interface either using wpa_cli or dbus interface (which mice.py uses). It may worth trying recompiling wpasupplicant (the relevant commands are in command.txt) or seeing the debugging messages from wpasupplicant (some commands are in logging.sh).

Tried recompiling based on the command.txt, still doesn't work.... Hmm.... I've been spending a couple of days debugging this issue, but I running out of ideas.

Sounds silly, but I've also downgraded my Ubuntu 20.04 wpa supplicant to the version that you stated in the README.md

wpasupplicant_2.4-1+deb9u4_amd64.deb

However, this also still shows the same behaviour as the wpasupplicant_2.9, it also doesn't work. :(
