I'm using Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie). I've just noticed that there's always a root console open on tty9 on my laptop after booting. Is this normal or should I worry? I've looked around on the web for information but haven't found anything useful about this. Last time I poked around for this sort

Regarding Hotspot configuration

I have spent couple of hours about using hotspot on my Debian laptop. The hotspotd method didn't work. So, I tried ap-hotspot after knowing that the hotspot which the GNOME network manager starts is an ad-hoc network which Android cannot identify. So, I began searching for solution for creating Inf
