Create Wi-Fi hotspot in Lubuntu 15.04

378

Solution 1

ap-hotspot is pretty outdated as the developer has stopped working on it for quite some time now. I suggest using create_ap as an alternative. To install, type the following in terminal.

git clone https://github.com/oblique/create_ap
cd create_ap 
make install 

Complete details on installation and use is found here.

Solution 2

I don't think the PPA currently has a version of ap-hotspot available for 15.04, however you should be able to install it by downloading the deb file from here for another Ubuntu version (the below instructions use 14.10's) and installing it:

wget "https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/ubuntu/webupd8/+files/ap-hotspot_0.3-1%7Ewebupd8%7E4_all.deb"
sudo gdebi ap-hotspot_0.3-1~webupd8~4_all.deb

If at a later date the above links/commands don't work, the package may have been updated so you will need to download and install the latest version from here manually.

You can also download the file in a web browser from here and install it using Software Center.

Note this still may not work, as the script was designed for 13.10 so it probably needs a few tweaks to work with 15.04 and other versions.

You can then start it with:

sudo ap-hotspot start

You can also stop it:

sudo ap-hotspot stop

and configure it:

sudo ap-hotspot configure

Solution 3

Thanks for help everyone, but now I have already found the solution on Youtube. I used in terminal this command:"kde5-nm-connection-editor" and opened KDE connection editor and so I managed to create new Wi-Fi hotspot and it works very well.

    I'm trying to align the actionButton right next to the textbox.

    Is there a way to add an argument to the column function? Or is there a simple css workaround?

    Code:

    
    library(shiny)
    
    ui <- fluidPage(
    
          sidebarLayout(
            sidebarPanel(),
            
            mainPanel(
                fluidRow(
                    column(11, textInput("code", label = " ", width = "100%")),
                    column(1, actionButton("run", "Run")))
            )
        )
    )
    server <- function(input, output) {
    
    }
    
    shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
    
    Right now it looks like this:

    But I want to achieve something like this:

    Sorry for late response, I tried using your method and successfully installed ap-hotspot, but when I try to start it using terminal, it says starting wifi hotspot and nothing changes after that. I don't know may be it's caused of that I'm using 15.04 version. If you know some solution please tell me.

    I typed the command in terminal several times, and after that there was created folder named create_ap, but the program isn't installed and so doesn't work. Now every time I type the command, I receive this: luka7@PC7:~$ git clone github.com/oblique/create_ap fatal: destination path 'create_ap' already exists and is not an empty directory. luka7@PC7:~$ cd create_ap luka7@PC7:~/create_ap$ make install The program 'make' can be found in the following packages: * make * make-guile Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package> luka7@PC7:~/create_ap$
