Error: Failed to run hostapd, maybe a program is interfering

linux-wifi-hotspot outputs the following

Error: Failed to run hostapd, maybe a program is interfering.
If an error like 'n80211: Could not configure driver mode' was thrown
try running the following before starting create_ap:
    nmcli r wifi off
    rfkill unblock wlan
Command not found or exited with error status

The commands listed above didn’t work, so I don’t know what to do

@asdhio:

Are you using Network Manager to connect to the WLAN?
Or, something else?


If Network Manager then, you should be able to setup a WLAN/Wifi Hot Spot by means of the Desktop GUI’s applet – assuming that, your Desktop is either KDE Plasma or GNOME …
