Bug Description
Tried to turn on Personal File Sharing, was faced with this message:
"This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system."
What does that mean? What do I need to install? This should either a) be installed by default - why have this in the menu and not have it work, b) give me the ability to install it, c) at least tell me what I need to install on my own.

Thanks a lot for reporting this as a papercut, but I have marked it as invalid as it requests the installation of additional packages that are not included in the default installation of Ubuntu. For more information on what counts as a papercut, please see here https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/PaperCut# What%20is% 20a%20paper% 20cut?
