Bug Description

File sharing between Ubuntu and Windows PCs is a bit of a struggle. One cannot get it up and running without searching online for a solution. Also there is always a bit of commandline involved in the process.

It would be better, if the required GUI and the dependencies are installed by default for Ubuntu . Even if the dependencies are not involved, during setup of file share, the system should prompt for the required dependencies which can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center.

affects: gnome-user-share (Ubuntu) → samba (Ubuntu)
