The problem with your workaround is that this doesn't let other devices connect to the hotspot.

pcxz commented 3 weeks ago

Sure?? ..i have in this moment, 3 user connected 😀

hrujcnzjt15 commented 3 weeks ago

Hm, weird. well I guess that's my problem :/

Mind telling me if you did any extra steps that allowed you to have 3 users connected?

Or am I just in a tough place right now?

hrujcnzjt15 commented 3 weeks ago

Weird, everytime I make a hotspot, my devices see the network and are able to connect to it. But after a couple seconds it just failsand devices are no longer able to pick up the network.

From bash1 add this command: sudo /usr/bin/create_ap DEVICE1 DEVICE2 MYHost 1234567890 --freq-band 2.4 ( change value DEVICE ecc.. as yours ) From bash2 add this command: sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager && sleep 5 && sudo systemctl start NetworkManager Wait your devices connecting ..and see if in bash1 receive any info when disconnecting !!!

SOLVED

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

unmanaged-devices=none
