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 ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/536766 Title: Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install needed packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/536766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
