Android cannot connect to Ubuntu hotspot
I have internet through a cable connected to my ubuntu laptop. I want to share my connection to an Android device using Ubuntu hotspot. I saw a couple of questions about how to enable hotspot on Ubuntu and I´ve tried most of them without success, by the end of the day the Android device is able to see the SSID in most of the cases but not to connect to it. Furthermore, It´s good to highlight that I´ve tried others Android devices and same behavior. However, Iphones can connect to this Ubuntu hotspot. Can someone help me to figure it out what I´m doing wrong?
