Cannot create hotspot on Xubuntu 23.04

[yotama9]

Describe the bug Trying to create a wifi on my machine (Intel NUC) on Xubuntu 23.04 I get an error "Some inputes are not valid!". I tried this with and without password. On terminal, create_ap works.

Expected behavior After inputing the right information, I expect the wifi to start.

Desktop (please complete the following information): Xubuntu 23.04

Additional context (workaround) I've managed to do configure everything manually by editing /etc/create_ap.conf and then entering the relevant infromation:

• change the GATEWAY value to your gateway IP (192.168.1.1 in my case).
• delete the -g in the NEW_MACADDR field
• update the WIFI_IFACE and INTERNET_IFACE to their respective names (you can get those with iwconfig)
• upate the SSID and PATHPHRASE as you would like.

Additional additional context

• At some point my interface was blocked by rfkill. I didn't run it manually, so I suspect that it was the result of the wihotspot
• Even though I followed the manual install instraction from the readme.md, iw was not installed on my machine. iwconfig was installed.
• I'm running all of this on a remote machine that does not have a screen attached to it, so everything is either vnc (using x11vnc as a server) and ssh.
