Also should note that a version of indicator-network with the settings fix for hotspot can be found in the following CI ticket / silo:
https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1338 https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-019 ** Description changed: - Restore the hotspot functionality + While testing network-manager 1.1.93-0ubuntu1~vivid1 we noticed that + hotspot no longer worked on arale or krillin ( it's not enabled on mako + ). + + The first issue was that if no NM connection file yet existed for the + hotspot, indicator-network would fail creating one due to a DBus error: + + void nmofono::HotspotManager::Priv::addConnection() Adding new hotspot connection + Failed to add connection: "ipv4.dns: can't set property of type 'au' from value of type 'as'" + + This was due to indicator-network using the following code to set this + setting: + + ipv4[QStringLiteral("dns")] = QVariant(QStringList()); + + My guess is that NM's re-factoring of it's DBus code to use gdbus + instead of dbus-glib, resulting in NM being a bit more strict in it's + parameter checking. + + Removing this, and the same for the 'addresses' and 'routes' settings allows indicator-network to create hotspot connection files once again. + See the associated branch for the update. + + If a connection file already exists, or one is created with the fix from + the merge proposal, then the current problem is that when 'Start' is + pressed, the UI displays a spinner which is never dismissed. + + Testing has shown that the hotspot is actually activated, can be seen + from other devices and connected to. + + Testing has also shown that it's possible to activate the hotspot using + nmcli directly, and the result is usable from other clients. ** Branch linked: lp:~phablet-team/indicator-network/fix-nm1.2-hotspot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579221 Title: Hotspot not working with NM 1.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1579221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
