Bug Description
The dialog states in the first section "This feature can't be enabled because the necessary packages are not installed."
This message is completely useless, because it leaves me completely in the dark what the actual problem is and how I can resolve it. It should instead provide a button to install whatever the system is missing or at least name the packages that I need to install manually. (It's probably samba, *I* know how to fix this)

Right, ideally the UI would suggest to install the patch server and let you click a button to do that
