Hello everyone:
we've been working on Wi-Fi hotspots which will allow you to share
your cellular data connection with nearby clients
using a wireless network.
This is now available
in
silo

, for both vivid and wily phone
images.
We're happy with how it works, but we're looking for your feedback
and unforeseen problems.
We want to ask you all to test it and report any issues
. If you hit an issue, here's how to report it:
*
A client can't see the hotspot or the hotspot does not work:
o
File against:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+filebug
o
Please attach /var/log/syslog as well as
~/.cache/upstart/indicator-network.log*
*
There's a problem with the System Settings UI:
o
File against:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+filebug
o Please attach log files which you'll find here:
~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log*
To start the hotspot:
1. Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled.
2. Go to System Settings -> Mobile/Cellular
3. Tap “Wi-Fi hotspot”
