Public bug reported: Ubuntu 15.04. Fully updated as of this writing. I installed system- config-samba from the repos to manage some samba shares. Upon installation, the "Samba" application icon never appears in the list of applications in the dash. I did however attempt to launch it via terminal as root, but what I got was this.
root@JSZ835:/etc# system-config-samba Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-samba", line 45, in <module> mainWindow.MainWindow(debug_flag) File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/mainWindow.py", line 121, in __init__ self.basic_preferences_win = basicPreferencesWin.BasicPreferencesWin(self, self.xml, self.samba_data, self.samba_backend, self.main_window) File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/basicPreferencesWin.py", line 97, in __init__ self.admin = libuser.admin() SystemError: could not open configuration file `/etc/libuser.conf': No such file or directory If I run "touch /etc/libuser.conf", then re-run system-config-samba as the root user, it opens the interface. Even afterwards, the application icon is no where to be found in the dash. I also noticed the desktop file had this entry: Exec=gksu system-config- samba However, gksu is seemingly not installed by default on 15.04. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and time! Have a great day.
