I have been searching this but could not find a proper solution. Creating it directly from Network Manager GUI doesn't work. It gives the following error:

Activation of network connection failed.

If anybody knows how to do it using terminal in Ubuntu 17.04 gnome can please help. Thanks in advance.

    You need to search for "bridge" connection to let a computer connected to the internet (via cable or wifi) share its connection via wifi. There's a process, but it's not something you can just install or turn on.

You need to install a couple of packages. From the command line type:

sudo apt install hostapd dnsmasq
