I've experienced exactly the same problem on both Kubuntu 9.04 and 9.10, and agree that the user should be prompted to install kdenetwork- filesharing if it's not installed. After all who is going to know that kdenetwork-filesharing exists let alone has to be installed. No message returned when the GUI interface does not do as expected is a bad thing!
In my case I didn't have kdenetwork-filesharing installed and after installing I got a response similar to Mark Greenwood although in my case the desktop file did exist. However, file sharing still failed to work in Dolphin even after a reboot. Entering kdesudo kcmshell4 filetypes also worked, but fileshare still failed to work. It only worked after I entered kdesudo kcmshell4 fonts. Now this is when something odd happened as I got: kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4libexec/kconf_update kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4libexec/kconf_update fonts then opened After I closed fonts and ran fileshare, fileshare worked! If I then enter fonts again, I don't get the above messages, it just opens the window. It's almost as if fonts needs to be initialised, before fileshare will work! This is on my Kubuntu 9.04 laptop, I'll give the same a try on my Kubuntu 9.10 desktop (64-bit) and will update this report. However, on the face of it to me it looks like a bug if fonts needs to be initialised before fileshare will work. -- KDE Filesharing not working due to incorrect file ownership https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329522 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
