Screenshots Not applicable

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context After a hard shutdown and reboot, trying to start linux-wifi-hotspot from the application menu does nothing. When trying to launch from terminal, it says something along the lines of 'Segmentation fault! (Core dumped)'. Unfortunately, I already reinstalled the package under the use of --purge, so I can't give you the core dump.
