Wifi hotspot disconnects with the message: â€œActivation of network connection failed.â€ after some time

I am trying to create a Wifi hotspot on a laptop running Ubuntu 18.04, but after about half a minute a message pops up saying: "Activation of network connection failed."

I tried creating the hotspot again several times, but with no success even after rebooting the system.

I tried connecting to the hotspot with my phone before the message popped up, but it got stuck either at Obtaining IP address... or Authenticating network.

How should I go about fixing it?

Delete every last connection you made and install these packages:

Network-manager-pptp-gnome

Dnsmasq-base

and reboot once.

Then try to create another connection manually:

Edit Connections >> Add a new connection >> select Wi-Fi

Select Hotspot in mode

Select device to be a access point

Set password in Wi-Fi security

Click Save
