When launching cinnamon-settings network, it crashes when I try to activate the wifi hotspot.
Steps to reproduce
Perform the following command:
cinnamon-settings network
Under wifi, click 'Use as Hotspot...'.
A dialog appears explaining that while the hotspot is active the computer cannot connect to wifi.
Click 'Turn on'.
The window then crashes.
The following is the output I get from the terminal.
Unknown module network
libgoa-backend-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/cinnamon-control-center-1/panels/libonline-accounts.so
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py:444: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Window.set_wmclass is deprecated
self.window.set_wmclass(wm_class, wm_class)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Expected behavior
Instead, a wifi hotspot should be properly generated allowing another device to connect to the wifi network created by my computer.
Distribution
Arch Linux x86_64, kernel version 6.8.2-arch1-1
Package version
Cinnamon 6.0.4
Graphics hardware in use

Additional information
When using the same machine but with linux mint instead of arch linux, cinnamon-settings network successfully allows me to create a wifi hostpot.
