Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I can attempt to share a folder in nautilus by right-clicking the
folder, selecting and selecting properties->share.
However, I get the following error:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare
directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to
grant you permissions to create a share
As I am in admin, "Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to
create a share" really doesn't help me figure out what to do next. A
workaround is just to run nautilus with sudo. However, I would expect
nautilus to automatically offer me the option to use gksudo/policykit to
share the folder.
