[Touch-packages] [Bug 1579221] Re: Hotspot not working with NM 1.2
It looks like the reason for this is a race condition that was not triggered before. In indicator-network, we enable the FW in HotspotManager::setEnabled() doing: d->createApDevice(); which loads AP firmware, and if that is successful, immediately after that d->enable(device); However, NM returns an error because the device is in state NM_DEVICE_STATE_UNAVAILABLE. Introducing a waiting time between both calls makes it work. The right solution for this is to track the device state in indicator- network so we do not enable until state > NM_DEVICE_STATE_UNAVAILABLE. Note that this happens in krillin/arale because for them we create a new device when activating hotspot (ap0), while in turbo we are still using wlan0 and changing the fw does not move the state to "unavailable". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579221 Title: Hotspot not working with NM 1.2 Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: 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 ).
