Do you have no password on your login?

earnest spruce Do you have no password on your login?

you mean when I log into ubuntu?

#

wait I mean when im asked for authentication

#

after looking into it abit more I think the issue is that PolicyKit may not have the correct permissions and ownership. Do you know how I can fix this?

#

but to answer your question no (sorry sped read)

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

The issue is almost certainly caused by not having a password on your user tbh.

polar pelican Jan 10, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

OOH

#

thankyou I was searching around while you were typing and realized that PolicyKit does have a password system

#

could you tell me how to set one up please? Im very inexperinced with Linux

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:27 AM

#

Uh. In your user settings if you're using Gnome. Othewise passwd is the command to set one.

if I type passwd into the console I'll be able to set it right? and it wont change my password for ubuntu?

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

It will set a password for your user. For "ubuntu" as you say.

polar pelican Jan 10, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

okay I'll give it a go

#

I ended up getting this

#

so I have a password then right?

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:32 AM

#

oh. This is wsl.

#

Why do you people never think that's relevant.

polar pelican Jan 10, 2024, 4:33 AM

#

did I forget to add the right flair? I apologize

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:34 AM

#

I'm not sure polkit is even running within wsl. Even if it was, WSL is literally just Linux inside a VM. It doesn't have control over drivers or network devices like that.

#

I question whether or not WSL will even allow you to set your wifi module into AP mode.

polar pelican Jan 10, 2024, 4:36 AM

#

is there a way I can fix this or no?

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:37 AM

#

The specific polkit issue? Probably, but I doubt it will make the linux-wifi-hotspot program work. What do you actually even need it for? Windows has this built in.

I'm trying to Create an NDS-Compatible Hotspot on Linux but I have a Windows laptop

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:40 AM

#

This is something you can't do on windows? I don't understand the issue there at all. Outside of it maybe needing to be 2.4Ghz or maybe wpa or something

From the DS Homebrew wiki I'm using: Windows cannot create a compatible hotspot, so Windows users will need to boot into Linux in order to set one up.

earnest spruce Jan 10, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

Under the assumption they're right, you're probably going to have to actually boot into a liveUSB or something if you really want to go that route. Again I don't believe Windows gives that kind of control over networking inside the Linux VM.
