Wifi Hotspot Topic is solved

Yes, but only after a backup restore, this problem keeps showing up again and again!

@cocoflan
Which RPi model do you use?
And which WiFi adapter (if not an internal one): lsusb

In case it is an external USB WiFi dongle, please try the following:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/all/hostapd_2.5_all.zip
unzip hostapd_2.5_all.zip
rm hostapd_2.5_all.zip
...

the next depends on RPi and WiFi adapter model .

It is a RPI 3 B+ that i use.

So the internal WiFi I bet... hmm then I have no idea why it fails currently, the steps I started are then not applicable.

A debug start then:

Code: Select all

systemctl status hostapd
systemctl stop hostapd
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

[cocoflan]

systemctl status hostapd
● hostapd.service
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
Active: inactive (dead)

RPI 3 B+
solution ???

i have left my device off yesterday, and tested the steps again today, it is working again.

So don't know what is the real problem, thx for the info.
