Public bug reported:
I tried to share files on a newer installation of Gutsy Gibbon which is
located on a regular desktop PC on a home network. But when I try to add
a file to be shared, I get the following window
sharing services are not installed
you need to install at least either Samba or NFS in order to share your
folders
install unix neworks support (nfs)
install windows network support (smb)
In this window - I click a button to install these but nothing installs,
and the same window comes back up again repeatedly. I checked in
synaptic packet manager and smb was installed. I decided to remove and
reinstall it, but after removing it - it does not appear as an option to
reinstall it. An option to install unix networks support is not in
synaptic manager.
I got some advice to install samba. Currenly samba common is installed.
No option for installing samba is available in synaptic manager.
how dow I fix this situation so I can share files?
