Hotspot not working on focal 20.04
-
I'm using version 2023-W27. The hotspot turned on successfully but the devices could not connect.
Can you fix this bug, thank you. -
@huy For me (on a Volla X23) the hotspot works really well with no password configured.
The problem seems to be in the WSA security.
I'm not suggesting using a hotspot with no password obviously.
-
@huy It works for me on Volla Phone X running Focal Relese Candidate 836. That is with a password set.
-
@treebeard @Ian This problem occurs when i set password for hotspot. If I don't set a password, other devices connect to the hotspot normally.
-
@huy Have you tried switching to the RC channel?

@Ian I am using focal channel RC version 2023-W27 date 07/06/2023
-
@huy I just checked which chanel I am on and it claims that I am on the Dev channel. I was sure I was on RC. Tried to change channel and just get the scrolling circle and 'fetching channels'.
EDIT. Got past the scrolly circle... but no channels are shown, just a blank screen under the title 'Channel to get updates from'

@huy I am writing this on my laptop connected to my hotspot configured with WPA2 security on Pixel 3a Focal on devel channel. So I can also confirm that it does work. Maybe there is some specific issue with either your device or your installation track.
-
@huy Not sure how it happened but it would appear that I was on the Dev channel. I was on there for a few weeks but it was a bit too flaky for a daily driver so I switched to the RC channel. At some stage the channel switched back without me realising - no idea how.
I have managed to switch back to RC and I can confirm that hotspot does not work on (2023-w12/4).... but it does work OK on Dev.

@Ian hotspot works on stable 16.04. i switch to rc 20.04 it works but set password it fails to connect. on Sony X, I only see rc channel no dev
-
@huy It is now working for me on RC 2023-W28.
-
@Ian when will w28 release bro.
-
@huy Not sure when it became availlable, but I installed it yesterday from the RC channel.
-
@Ian Failed to connect to hotspot when setting password on RC 2023-W29.
-
@huy I also have this bug on 20.04/rc. It's not a problem on 16.04/stable and I can connect there rather quickly.
I am also using WPA2-personal. If anyone has a workaround, that would be appreciated. Cheers.
