[Bug 211966] Re: nautilus-share report a warning about missing /var/lib/samba/usershares

[Sebastian Meyer]

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.1 and can confirm the appearance of this error
message in the terminal when nautilus is launched. The error sometimes
also pops up in a notification window, as observed in Comment #21.

Since I do not use the nautilus-share extension, I simply removed the corresponding package to get rid of this error - as suggested in a comment on the duplicate bug report
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-share/+bug/225859/comments/3).

Title:
  nautilus-share report a warning about missing
  /var/lib/samba/usershares

Status in Apache2 Web Server:
  Invalid
Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus-share

  if you start nautilus from console you can see this error message:

  Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
  Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

  I assume it needs to create /var/lib/samba/usershares in the package
