First of all, this is NOT a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1261873. I get the same problem, while my [homes] section in smb.conf is ok, i.e. ALL the lines there are commented out.
What happens on at least two independend installations of Trusty, one of them a fresh one: Trying to share a folder in Nautilus for the first time makes it automatically ask to install the samba package. This seems to work, but then a simmilar dialogue appears asking to install "libpam- smbpass", too, but this time the whole dialogue is greyed out and clicking one of the two buttons (cancel or install) has no effect at all. It can only be closed clicking the x button in the top corner. Shares don't work then, as discribed before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299186 Title: Creating a Samba Share is not possible because "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID.
