Comment 16 for bug 354559

I have a fresh install of 9.10 64 bit. Had the same issue when you click configure file sharing, it prompted for a password, and then nothing happened.

I installed kdenetwork-filesharing and now I got a bunch of menus to setup samba shares. Even a Samba menu under System Settings. However I couldn't get any shares to be visible locally or from other machines. I resorted to editing the smb.conf manually, and still had no luck. When I tried to restart samba I couldn't find /etc/init.d/samba. Turns out the package samba is also not installed.

No where were there prompts to install these 2 packages needed for the UI to function.
