Sorry but what i mean is that my laptop is not showing my mobile's hotspot name in visible networks of wifi settings.
I want to connect my laptop to my mobile hotspot and not to create a hotspot using my laptop.

Oh...
That's how I also hook up to the internet. At times I need to reboot my phone so the connection will show up. Have you tried that? And there are times when a reboot of ubuntu NetworkManager is necessary, even though it refreshes itself. That's all I have

[akashsinhaha]

yeah sometimes when I restart my Laptop it starts working but again after 1 to 3 hours it stops. And its a pain to restart the laptop everytime this happens. I will try rebooting the network manager and report.

I will try rebooting the network manager and report.

There are different ways of doing this

I'm on a virtual system and cannot test the different methods.

none worked for me

Is your driver up to date?

sudo lshw -C network && inxi -n

Open Software Updater and go to Settings>Drivers. That will check for drivers.

Also check syslog for any clues

cat /var/log/syslog

And there is this

I currently have nothing else to offer

here is what i got from

 sudo lshw -C network && inxi -n
