I'm having the same issue. Are you also having the issue with wifi connecting and disconnecting multiple times and still no Internet?

Please try to delete /etc/create_ap.conf and rw install as a temporary fix

not working this way. then I tried this command: sudo create_ap wlp0s20f3 enp4s0 'kme' '12345678'

it gives this results:

Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlp0s20f3.conf.X9qkmbCK
PID: 8178
Network Manager found, set ap0 as unmanaged device... DONE
Creating a virtual WiFi interface...

and get hang or loading

Yeah, I'm also facing the same issue after upgrading to Linux Mint 22. It was working fine in Linux Mint 21.

It gets stuck at the following stage: image

pcxz commented 3 weeks ago

A workaround is: 1) launch command for start wi-hotspot 2) from bash execute: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager sleep 5 sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

After first restart is created ap0 After second restart is started hotspot

Why??

pcxz commented 3 weeks ago

And this is bugreport created from python. bugreport.txt

Moini commented 3 weeks ago

Subscribed, I see the same thing as @bhavberi on my Linux Mint 21.3.

pcxz commented 3 weeks ago

I sent a bugreport to "apparmor" gitlab. They said it's an old bug that's already patched, and probably not related to the wi-hotspot issue. https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/issues/424#note_2065922723

SOLVED

Edit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ubuntu-system-adjustments.conf and change line: unmanaged-devices=none in:

unmanaged-devices=none
