Hi, I thought I'd chime in. I'm a java programmer with 14 year of Win32
experience.
I'm a ubuntu virgin though. When I tried to share a folder I did it like I
would on OSX/win32: First, I tried to share a drive (fail), so I then tried a
folder, found the 'sharing option'.
Went in there, added the non-installed bits, and when I tried to create
my share, bang, error message '255 etc'. Barely noticeable as well since
the message is displayed at the bottom of the window.
So what do you think a linux virgin did? I remembered about this
'gksudo' thing,... you imagine the rest.
This IS a bug - the only way around it would be 1) make sure it's
shareable immediately or 2) inform the user clearly that a re-login is
needed.
My two cents of course. Oh and by the way, a 'normal' user would be
unable to even find this launchpad page, and would give up on sharing
folders in ubuntu very quickly.
