Ubuntu – Wirless ap-hotspot ubuntu 13.10

hot-spotnetwork-manager

I have Ubuntu 13.10 and I created a wireless hot spot using the network setting option and also tried to setup using AP-hotspot.

The problem is the one setup using network setting is not showing in my phone (Android 4.0) and when I start AP-hotspot it says already a process is running and if I stop and try to start again it says another process already running again.

Your command prompt should look like this,

$ sudo ap-hotspot start
Another process is already running
$ sudo ap-hotspot stop
Wireless Hotspot is not active

In this case whatever command you try, won't work. It would display the same error like above.

For this you have to remove hotspot.pid file present inside /tmp directory. So that only it would work.

sudo rm /tmp/hotspot.pid

And then try to start ap-hotspot by running,

sudo ap-hotspot start

To stop,

sudo ap-hotspot stop

To configure,

sudo ap-hotspot configure
