I have just installed this ubuntu 8.04 LTS and I am having this problem. I am new to UBUNTU and would really appreciate some help. To the best of my knowledge I think I am following directions correctly.
I do the following:
System / administration / synaptic package manager
select samba
mark for complete removal
Apply
Afterwards I go to:
Places / home folder.
I select the folder "untitled" (my folder is really called that)
Rt mouse click
sharing options
Select share this folder. (I understand this to be active due to the fact that there is a check box marked and a message appears) "sharing service not installed...."
I select install service
Samba is installed...
Changes applied. I select "Restart Session"
Pc restarts... I log back in.
I go to:
Places / home folder.
I select the folder "untitled"
Rt mouse click
sharing options
