I was able to create a wifi hotspot on my debian 8 install using network tab under gnome settings. I was trying to do the same using nmcli but it always shows 

$nmcli con up id Hotspot

Error: Connection activation failed.

I'm trying to connect to the connection created by gnome itself.

$nmcli connection show

Hotspot 6db9bb0a-c61b-47fc-8ada-7ecd46873fc0 802-11-wireless --

I followed the steps from here.

Welcome to Stackexchange! On my machine, I need to run nmcli con up id with sudo. Maybe that helps. – nhee May 30 '15 at 8:29
