This feature cannot be enabled due to missing package

[Mike Rushton]

Binary package hint: gnome-user-share

We cannot enable "Personal File Sharing" due to "the required packages are not installed on your system". What packages? Shouldn't we have a button or link somewhere on this dialog box telling us how to install the needed packages? Obviously by bringing up this preference we would like to enable it but are given no instructions on how to go about that.

Funny thing is, even though my laptop doesn't have bluetooth hardware, I can enable bluetooth sharing but it doesn't say "This feature cannot be enabled because the required hardware is not installed on your system"

Hi Mike,

The gnome-user-share package integration is in work in progress, and is going to be fixed soon before the release of ubuntu 10.04. So currently gnome-user-share only provides bluetooth sharings (obexpush & obexftp).

for information you just need to install apache2.2-bin to have the Webdav feature.

Regards.

Of course this bug is a duplicate of 536766. I filed this bug almost 3 weeks before 536766. Makes perfect sense.
