I have network-manager and nm-applet installed on arch linux. I'm using Gnome desktop. When I try to set-up hotspot using GUI I get an error stating "Activation of network failed". This is what I have in my /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection/Hotspot
[connection]

I tried connecting using nmcli con up id Hotspot
but it gave me the same error. I made sure the extra services like network.service
or net-auto-wireless.service
are disabled (They were already disabled).
Can anyone help me setting up a hotspot with network-manager.
Thanks in advance.
