Sharing is so mixed and complicated in ubuntu we have "shares-admin" from the terminal we have personal sharing - gnome-user-share that have the mentioned problem-bug with the apache ( ffs ) and we have the nautilus way : right click properties ---> sharing Of course the user is so confused that doesn't understand what is happening ... Can someone explain why the personal sharing need apache when the shares-admin doesn't ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-user-share in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/536766 Title: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in gnome-user-share: New Status in “gnome-user-share” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus What happens -> I open the Personal file sharing preferences dialog via system-preferences or via nautilus, and Im told that the network sharing feature can not be enabled because the required packages are not on your pc. I, as a tech user, went to synaptic, found the package, looked for its recommends and got the functionality. A normal user wont be able to do so, and so a button to install those packages is needed for usabilty's sake. ---------------------------------------------- Desired resolution: - Remove the "Sharing Options" right click menu option from Nautilus. - If a advanced user chooses to install the required packages, the menu should re-appear in Nautilus.
