Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus-share
i had SMB sharing working after very little set up (just point and click in
gnome) in 9.10.
now after upgrading to 10.04 sharing was not working anymore. in an attempt to
troubleshoot i removed the share in nautilus. When I try to add it back, the
folder sharing dialog gives this error message:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert
name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not
running.
If I go to System->Preferences->Personal File Sharing, it is written:
This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not
installed on your system
But it doesn't say which packages to install. I do have samba installed,
and also nautilus-share.
When googling this problem, I found out about the "shares-admin"
program. I launched it, and it told me at startup that sharing services
are not installed. It offered to install them for SMB and/or NFS. I
unticked NFS, clicked "Install services" with SMB enabled. Then it asked
for the admin password, but nothing happened and this same window keeps
popping up.
