Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdenetwork-filesharing

Hello

I am using kubuntu 9.04 latest update.

Today I tried to share a directory with right clicking on the directory in dolphin, and choose share.
When I push the filesharing button, it asked me for a password. After typing the password nothing happended.

I found out I had to install kdenetwork-filesharing and reboot. So far so good. Tried the same thing again -> nothing happended. I found out the button calls kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare, so I tried typing that in the konsole.

:~$ kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare
kcmshell(3728) KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath: "findServiceByDesktopPath: fileshare.desktop not found

That didn't work. But if I type:
:~$ sudo kcmshell4 fileshare
It works fine.

First of all I think its important that you are prompted with a dialogue, if you are trying to share anything without kdenetwork-filesharing is installed. Second I think its very important the kdesudo thing is fixed before the release of Jaunty.

Just tell me if you like more information. Thanks for this great distro.

fileshare.desktop should've been installed with kdenetwork-filesharing.

Can you confirm this file exists and if so, its exact location and file permissions.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. I'm running Kubuntu Jaunty Beta, and after installing kdenetwork-filesharing I'm able to run the following command sucessfully.

kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare

I can confirm that:
kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare

works after upgrading to kde 4.2.2 under intrepid.

Though it should ask for kdenetwork-filesharing, before just doing nothing, if its not installed :-)
