Comment 19 for bug 215810

My statement is that the folder sharing service that WAS installed by default in ubuntu 7.10 has been removed from hardy 8.04. The bug you are trying to get me to go look at does not apply to this bug. I have installed 2 copies of the final release of hardy heron and this service that existed in 7.10 ( see the screen shot ) DOES NOT exist in hardy heron as you seem to think. This folder sharing service that used to appear in ubuntu 7.10 also allowed me to set MY workgroup to a name I want it to be, not the one that the dev decide my workgroup should be.

I am aware that this is not a forum, I do not use forums, I am trying to communicate with ubuntu devs, not the users of ubuntu.

You say that sharing was present in the final release but I cannot see any place that lets me choose windows share or NFS share choice when sharing nor do I see where to set my own workgroup name.

Rather than close a bug report as invalid, why not try to investigate with me and give directions to where you think I can find the service so I can share my folders. you do not try to advise how to work around until fix is released so that I can share files while I am waiting for fix.
