Yes, it doesn't work for me either. Although my old iPod touch was able to connect to the wireless network, it just couldn't access internet. I tried a few variations, after searching around on internet and the community wiki, but couldn't make it work. My work was done on a 16.04 development LapTop.
** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Description changed: I wanted to create wireless hotspot in Ubuntu 15.10 64bit and followed this official manual https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net- wireless-adhoc.html. I followed every step but still wireless wasn't working. Nothing happened, my Android 4.4 phone couldn't find the wireless network. - - " - $ apt-cache policy pkgname - N: Unable to locate package pkgname - " -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1537551 Title: official ubuntu docomentation that explains how to create wireless hot spot is not correct.
