Wifi hotspot not working on Arch Linux
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.
