Public bug reported: - Create Hotspot via "System Settings > Network > Wireless > Hotspot" or manually in the network-manager - What I expected: * Hotspot is created, clients can use internet connection - What happened instead: * The new connection connects and disconnects after a second, when "autoconnect" is enabled, this happens very fast in a endless loop.
I think this error message in the log causes the failure: > dnsmasq[5213]: failed to create listening socket for 10.42.43.1: Address > already in use > dnsmasq[5213]: FAILED to start up ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-11.18-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Date: Fri Sep 23 13:06:40 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110901) IpRoute: default via 192.168.2.1 dev eth0 proto static 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.10 NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true WimaxEnabled=true SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-09-23 (0 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.NetworkManager.NetworkManager.conf: 2011-09-14T08:20:06.811759 ** Affects: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857294 Title: Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/857294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
