You should enter sudo password for the current user account. Otherwise, run as root ex: sudo wihotspot

What about Wayland ?? It does not allow to run GUI apps using Sudo It works with polkit but that asks password around 5 times and is kind of annoying.

sudo -E hotspot works but is there any other way? using river Wayland in arch
