A few comments: 1. This seems to have been removed without any care for the Ubuntu variants that don't rely upon nautilus.
2. The shares-admin tool wasn't for advanced configuration, but was still a centralized place to configure sharing (which many modern OS's/distros seem to have). The addition of some advanced functionality (plus fixing major bugs) would have been a better choice, rather than removing it altogether. IMO, nautilus-share is nice, but not an acceptable replacement. 3. NFS is now harder to configure for the average user, and not even mentioned as an alternative to Samba in any dialogs. This will certainly encourage Samba sharing, something which is not ideal for someone in a non-Windows environment. Is it really a good idea to present Samba as the primary way to share files in Ubuntu? Why discourage a standard Unix protocol like NFS on a Unix-like system? 4. When I click "Share this folder" in nautilus-share, I get a dialog with the message, "You need to install the Windows networks sharing service in order to share your folders." How about an option to install NFS via that dialog (as with shares-admin)? I don't need or want samba installed on my home machines, and I have no way of quickly setting up NFS shares (something I sometimes do to temporarily share files between machines). -- missing shares-admin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208480 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
