Toggle WLAN Hotspot Gnome Taskbar












0















I have a mobile broadband connection that I am often sharing via hotspot on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and Gnome 3.28.2. I can perfectly do this (as described for example here) via GUI. But I would like to realize that with a CLI command (for a toggle switch. How can I determine the command behind this GUI button: WLAN Hotspot ?

          I am confused with the example you have provided in the question.. it uses Unity..
          but 18.04 Defaults to GNOME



          I assume you are using GNOME and not Unity..



          Once you have created the hotspot in any way and once it is active..



          run the below command
          nmcli device show



          and note down the value for GENERAL.CONNECTION:

          in my case it is Hotspot-21



          Example: 



          pratap@i3-6550U:~$ nmcli device show
          
GENERAL.DEVICE:                         wlp2s0
          
GENERAL.TYPE:                           wifi
          
GENERAL.HWADDR:                         E0:94:67:64:C5:8F
          
GENERAL.MTU:                            1500
          
GENERAL.STATE:                          100 (connected)
          
GENERAL.CONNECTION:                     Hotspot-21


          now use the commands below to toggle on and off (#Replace Hotspot-21 with your value)



          nmcli connection up Hotspot-21
          
nmcli connection down Hotspot-21


          enter image description here



          Source: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/nmcli.1.html



                 wifi hotspot [ifname ifname] [con-name name] [ssid SSID] [band {a | bg}] [channel channel]
          
   [password password]
          
       Create a Wi-Fi hotspot. The command creates a hotspot connection profile according to
          
       Wi-Fi device capabilities and activates it on the device. The hotspot is secured with
          
       WPA if device/driver supports that, otherwise WEP is used. Use connection down or
          
       device disconnect to stop the hotspot.
