1 - Logged in 2 - Started Dolphin 3 - Right clicked Pictures folder and selected Properties 4 - Selected Share Tab 5 - Selected "Configure File Sharing" button 6 - Request for password appeared - Entered password and requester disappeared with nothing else happening. Then I started KPackageKit from the K Menu and installed kdenetwork-filesharing package. 1 - Right clicked Pictures folder in Dolphin and selected Properties 2 - Selected Share Tab 3 - Selected "Configure File Sharing" button. No request for a password was made cause it had been typed in previously. still nothing happens.. When I run "dpkg-query -l 'kde*' > packages.txt" nothing happens. When I run "dpkg-query -l 'kde*'" I'll get this: ja...@linux1:~$ dpkg-query -l 'kde*' > packages.txt ja...@linux1:~$ dpkg-query -l 'kde*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un kde-icons-crys <none> (no description available) ii kde-icons-oxyg 4:4.2.2-0ubunt Oxygen icon theme for KDE 4 ii kde-printer-ap 4:4.2.2-0ubunt printer status applet ii kde-style-qtcu 0.62.8-0ubuntu Unified widget style for KDE and GTK+ un kde-style-qtcu <none> (no description available) ii kde-window-man 4:4.2.2-0ubunt the KDE 4 window manager (KWin) ii kde-zeroconf 4:4.2.2-0ubunt zeroconf plugins and kio slaves for KDE 4 un kde-zeroconf-k <none> (no description available) un kde4-style-qtc <none> (no description available) un kde4-style-qtc <none> (no description available) un kdeaccessibili <none> (no description available) un kdeaccessibili <none> (no description available) un kdeartwork-emo <none> (no description available) un kdeartwork-sty <none> (no description available) un kdebase <none> (no description available) ii kdebase-bin 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core binaries for the KDE 4 base module un kdebase-bin-kd <none> (no description available) un kdebase-bin-kd <none> (no description available) ii kdebase-data 4:4.2.2-0ubunt shared data files for the KDE 4 base module un kdebase-data-k <none> (no description available) un kdebase-kio-pl <none> (no description available) ii kdebase-plasma 4:4.2.2-0ubunt plasma widgets from the KDE 4 base applicati ii kdebase-runtim 4:4.2.2-0ubunt runtime components from the official KDE 4 r ii kdebase-runtim 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core binaries for the KDE 4 base runtime mod ii kdebase-runtim 4:4.2.2-0ubunt shared data files for the KDE 4 base runtime ii kdebase-runtim 4:4.2.2-0ubunt shared data files for the KDE 4 base runtime ii kdebase-worksp 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core binaries for the KDE 4 base workspace m ii kdebase-worksp 4:4.2.2-0ubunt shared data files for the KDE 4 base workspa ii kdebase-worksp 4:4.2.2-0ubunt libraries provided by the KDE 4 base workspa un kdebase-worksp <none> (no description available) ii kdebluetooth 1:0.3-0ubuntu4 KDE Bluetooth Framework ii kdegraphics-st 4:4.2.2-0ubunt graphics file format plugins for Strigi Desk un kdegraphics-st <none> (no description available) ii kdelibs-bin 4:4.2.2-0ubunt executables for all KDE 4 core applications ii kdelibs-data 4:3.5.10.dfsg. core shared data for all KDE applications un kdelibs4 <none> (no description available) un kdelibs4-dev <none> (no description available) un kdelibs4c2 <none> (no description available) ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.10.dfsg. core libraries and binaries for all KDE appl ii kdelibs5 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core libraries for all KDE 4 applications ii kdelibs5-data 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core shared data for all KDE 4 applications ii kdemultimedia- 4:4.2.2-0ubunt transparent audio CD access for KDE 4 applic un kdemultimedia- <none> (no description available) ii kdenetwork-fil 4:4.2.2-0ubunt network filesharing configuration module for un kdenetwork-fil <none> (no description available) ii kdepasswd 4:4.2.2-0ubunt password changer for KDE 4 un kdepasswd-kde4 <none> (no description available) ii kdepim-kresour 4:4.2.2-0ubunt KDE pim resource plugins un kdepim-kresour <none> (no description available) ii kdepim-strigi- 4:4.2.2-0ubunt PIM file format plugins for Strigi Desktop S un kdepim-strigi- <none> (no description available) ii kdepim-wizards 4:4.2.2-0ubunt KDE server configuration wizards un kdepim-wizards <none> (no description available) ii kdepimlibs-dat 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core shared data for KDE PIM 4 applications ii kdepimlibs5 4:4.2.2-0ubunt core libraries for KDE PIM 4 applications ii kdeplasma-addo 4:4.2.2-0ubunt plasmoids for KDE 4 Plasma - main package ii kdeplasma-addo 4:4.2.2-0ubunt plasmoids for KDE 4 Plasma - data files un kdeplasmoids <none> (no description available) un kdeplasmoids-d <none> (no description available) un kdeprint <none> (no description available) un kdesktop <none> (no description available) ii kdesudo 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 sudo frontend for KDE4 un kdesudo-kde4 <none> (no description available) un kdevelop3-data <none> (no description available) ja...@linux1:~$ then as advised by "mugginz" I execute the following command kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare but same problem as above..i get this: ja...@linux1:~$ kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare ja...@linux1:~$ what could be wrong?
