Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information.

We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and

Hi,

thanks, but i'll try to explain...

i want to share folder via samba, so i installed samba and kdenetwork-fileshare

when i open systemsettings and go to share module, the samba module is disabled, and the only way to do something in the module is to run:

sudo systemsettings

when at this time i can add share, change permissions...

if i run systemsettings directly i cant do nothing...

thanks...
