Bug#858870: gnome-control-center: Can't turn on hotspot

Found a workaround on StackExchange. Apparently you just have to set the hostname on the machine. $ hostnamectl --pretty set-hostname And after that it works. Here is the link to the workaround and the the bug seems to have been already reported to upstream gnome.
