Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
I can attempt to share a folder in nautilus by right-clicking the folder, selecting and selecting properties->share.
However, I get the following error:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share
As I am in admin, "Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share" really doesn't help me figure out what to do next. A workaround is just to run nautilus with sudo. However, I would expect nautilus to automatically offer me the option to use gksudo/policykit to share the folder.
