Bug Description

I have configured the hotspot to automatically start at startup. The hotspot correctly starts on startup, but it appears to be configured incorrectly. No device connected to it can reach the internet. When opening the settings, Wifi is indicated to be disabled, even though the hotspot is running (see screenshot).

The expectation is that the hotspot is fully functional on startup meaning every device connected to it can reach the internet.

Currently the issue can be fixed by activating Wifi and then starting a hotspot, even though the hotspot is already running. The hotspot started at startup does not have to be shut down before starting a hotspot in the settings.

All this leads me to believe that somewhere the configuration of Wifi goes wrong on startup.

Running Ubuntu 22.04

Thank you for your bug report. If the status is wrong at system start then the problem is probably due to network-manager itself.

Could you trigger the bug and then when the system is in the buggy state do
$ apport-collect 1973629

The issue is probably also worth reporting upstream on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues
