Bug ID: 503934
Summary: Hotspot icon shows active when wifi antenna is
disabled, whether there's an active network or not
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Solus
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Networks widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kde...@tlcnet.info
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If a wired network connection is active and WiFi is disabled, the hotspot icon
still shows as active. Attempting to create a hotspot fails with an error.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On a device with both a wired and wifi network connection available, connect
to the wired one
2. Toggle the WiFi switch to off
3. Click on the network applet and click Hotspot
ALSO
1. On a device with only a wifi connection available, toggle the WiFi switch to
off
2. Click on the network applet and click Hotspot
OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking on the hotspot icon produces a popup error in both cases
"Failed to create hotspot tracey-hotspot
Error - Connection 'tracey-hotspot' is not available on device wlp0s20f3
because device is not available"
EXPECTED RESULT
If it's not possible to create a hotspot due to not having any network
connectivity or no free wireless adapter, the icon is inactive
