Bug description

When launching cinnamon-settings network, it crashes when I try to activate the wifi hotspot.

Steps to reproduce

Perform the following command:

cinnamon-settings network

Under wifi, click 'Use as Hotspot...'.
A dialog appears explaining that while the hotspot is active the computer cannot connect to wifi.
Click 'Turn on'.
The window then crashes.
The following is the output I get from the terminal.

Unknown module network
libgoa-backend-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/cinnamon-control-center-1/panels/libonline-accounts.so
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py:444: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Window.set_wmclass is deprecated
self.window.set_wmclass(wm_class, wm_class)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected behavior

Instead, a wifi hotspot should be properly generated allowing another device to connect to the wifi network created by my computer.

Additional information

When using the same machine but with linux mint instead of arch linux, cinnamon-settings network successfully allows me to create a wifi hostpot.
Here is a video of me performing the steps to reproduce and the bug occurring:
