Bug Description

Personal file share GUI which comes pre-installed in Ubuntu is misleading. When the GUI is launched, it says certain packages are missing, but does not say which ones. This confuses people and does not help anyone who wants an easy way to share files.
Either the complete package should be installed for the GUI or it should be completely removed.
