Binary package hint: nautilus
On right clicking a directory to enable sharing, the automatic
downloader is invoked to fetch and install samba/nfs. This installs
without hitch but when completed the same prompt continues to appear
until cancelled (which is bad!).
After this the file is still not shared, however reselecting the folder
and attempting to share again causes a PolicyKit popup to appear to
authenticate but this is not given focus and prevents tabbing/selecting
the window to see the settings. Blindly typing in my password removed
the prompt and allowed me to select to share the folder as originally
desired.
Confusing behaviour!
