[Bug 536766] Re: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages

[Jeremy Bicha]

This is finally "fixed" in Ubuntu 18.04 Alpha by having gnome-user-share
depend on the packages it needs. The depends are not a fully functional
Apache install but just an Apache binary and a WebDav server.

** Description changed:

  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.
- - Remove the 'Share' tab from the Nautilus 'Properties' window
+ - Change the Sharing Options text in them Nautilus right click folder menu 
to Local network share
+ - Change the 'Share' tab title text in the Nautilus 'Properties' window to

  - If a advanced user chooses to install the required packages, the menu

[Bug 536766] Re: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages

[Christopher Townsend]

This is a rather old bug, but I have been tasked to look into this for
13.10.  This bug has mixed in a couple of issues over time.  Here is
what I believe is the current state and what this bug should really be
about.

- The bug title references only Personal File Sharing Preferences, but
description also references Nautilus as well.  I think this bug should
only be used to track the issue in Personal File Sharing Preferences.

-  The Desired resolution posted by Design (John Lea) in the bug
description is for Nautilus, but now Nautilus will prompt the user to
install needed services when trying to use file sharing.  What is in
Nautilus now is quite nice, so I'll follow up with John on this.

 - Back to Personal File Sharing Preferences.  Currently (13.10), it
still only gives the message that required packages are missing and
gives no clue as to what packages are needed or even better, offer to
install the needed packages.  The needed package is apache2 (and
dependencies) because Bluez uses WebDAV to transfer files and WebDAV is
provided by apache2.

I'm not sure who is responsible for gnome-user-share in Ubuntu, so I'll
try poking around to see what can be done about Personal File Sharing
Preferences.

[Bug 536766] Re: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages

[zzecool]

And the problem still exist in 12.10  .

Same features should work out of the box  and this is one of them  , it
is obvious that Ubuntu doing it wrong here.

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 ?

I just came around this problem. It still is a problem in 12.04.

And I still do not understand why I have to install apache2 if I only
want to receive some files via bluetooth from my smart phone. I'm on a
campus network with my laptopm sometimes and it really frightens me to
have an http server running.

[Bug 536766] Re: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages

[el_gallo_azul]

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 yesterday, because I tried Samba on Ubuntu
11.10 two days ago and everything went bad and my machine became
unusable. I am very wary of (trying to use) Samba. I only want to share
files between Linux machines.

Yes I am trying to work out how to fix the problem of not being able to
use Personal File Sharing because 'This feature cannot be enabled
because the required packages are not installed on your system'.

So this is a repetition of #27 above. The message itself is quite sweet,
but without providing any clue of how to identify which packages are not
installed, its usefulness is reduced.

I've just been through each item on the first page of Google results for
'ubuntu 12.04 personal file sharing this feature cannot be enabled
because the required packages are not installed on your system', but the
2 most thorough answers require Samba. A couple of others refer to
Apache, but I can't work out what package/s to install. Here's a quick
list of what I've found.

apache2
apache2.2-bin
apache2.2-common
libapache2-mod-dnssd
NFS

The Sharing Options in Nautilus just install Samba, please add Apache2
to that installation. Is really annoying not know what package install.

[Bug 536766] Re: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages

[Chris Wilson]

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however since the average user is more
likely to be using Ubuntu One to share files and folders, rather than
Nautilus' built-in features, this unfortunately does not count as a
paper cut.

It appears this issue is resolved. But then why did I just upgrade to
11.04 and am unable to Share Files over the Network because ... the
required packages are not installed ... . And there's no option to
install them.

Isn't that what this thread was discussing?
If not, my apologies and - Where should I be looking?

In order to be able to receive files through Bluetooth, this package
(Personal File Sharing) is required. It is seemingly installed in 10.04
(and probably all releases before it), no idea why it is not the case
with 10.10. It simply does not make any sense!

 I've already installed apache2  libapache2-mod-dnssd in 10.10, and
 there is no Personal File Sharing under System-Preferences, seems the
 workaround for 10.04 doesn't work in 10.10.
 
 Anyone resolved this problem?
 

AFAIK, gnome-user-share is not installed in 10.10 by default. You can
install it from universe.

But your problem is *not* what this bug is about.

This bug is about the program not offering to install the packages it
needs to perform its primary function.

I had spent hours trying to re-establish my network to XP after

Luckily I found macpablosramblings who explains the prob  the fix.

Even now, the network is only working partially ---XP HOme to Ubuntu

As a Ubuntu user, not a techie, I am not at all clear regarding
networking L-L 10.04.

Perhaps a real pro could write a how to... in simple, step-by-step

[Bug 536766] Re: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages

[WolfRage]

I have some questions for the developer of gnome-share. So are we not going 
to be using Samba in the future to share files? If so will the method using 
Apache to share files still be able to share with windows systems? Is the 
method using Apache as advanced as the Samba project or are we recreating the 
wheel here?
I ask because my attempt to share files between two Ubuntu machines failed 
so I took the route that I posted here: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502265 
My method does provide the added benefit of being able to exchange with 
windoz systems and even virtual windoz systems.

[hasan adil]

I just came across this issue and it really is very frustrating. A
preference should not be available if the feature isn't even installed.

If you go to software center and search Personal File sharing, it will
you everything is installed which is even worse since then the end user
is really confused. Win, Mac also do file sharing and its far less of a
headache.

Detlef,

could you avoid mixing problem on the same bug; furthermore,
apache2.2-bin is not a big package:
==  apache2.2-bin  ==

It is bad program usabilty to provide a menu option by default and tell users 
that This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not 
installed on your system.
Rather, the Ubuntu maintainers should make sure that Ubuntu provides the 
required packages by default.

I do not think that it is a good idea to require to install the 2 large
packages apache2.2-bin and lib-apche2-mod-dnssd just to make Share Files
over the Network possible.

... and the package needed to install is what?

I'm old time linux user, but new to ubuntu/debian style distros.  I did
a cursory search of synaptic for personal file sharing, and came up with
nothing.

For the record, installing apache2 fixed this.

... and also for the record, once installed, everything works as expect
*and* there's nice UI options for sharing from the file manager
(nautilus).  Great!

Thank you for your bug report. This was on my radar already when i
changed gnome-user-share to make it cope without having apache, but I
just haven't gotten round to it yet.

You know I filed #525172 almost 3 weeks ago right? Not sure why this bug
gets noticed now and the original marked as a duplicate.

That's just the way it happens sometimes, I'm not sure why that's a
problem for you. And there's no need to post what is basically the same
comment to both bugs.

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias]

I set the other bug as duplicated and not this one because Chris has commented 
on this one.
This not really a problem as at the end the result 'll be the same.
