Right after installing Samba sharing service via Nautilus and after a reboot, I am unable to set up the default share option.
(See screenshot for the error reported).

I have to manually install the package samba-common-bin in order to install the "testparm" command.
I assume that the auto-installed packages via Nautilus, should have samba-common-bin as dependency.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
