Wifi hotspot not working on Arch Linux

Home

Wifi works but the hotspot doesn’t work on Arch Linux.

Check the recent logs of NetworkManager.service

systemctl status NetworkManager

If you see a line which says that dnsmasq is not found then we just need to install it.

<warn>  [1695462114.4035] device (wlo1): ip:shared4: could not start dnsmasq: Could not find "dnsmasq" binary

On Arch Linux I just used the following command and restarted the device:

sudo pacman -S dnsmasq

Now I was able to start the wifi hotspot properly.
