I am having the same issue. Kdesudo did pop up, but I am still getting the described behavior.
I believe the "Samba Section" the OP referred to was: System Settings > Advanced > System > Samba I am running 8.10 upgraded from 8.04. I have done nothing to kdesudo that I am aware of. ~$ dpkg -l |egrep "samba|smb|filesharing|kdesudo" ii kdenetwork-filesharing 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 network filesharing configuration module for KDE 4 ii libsmbclient 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 shared library that allows applications to talk to SMB/ rc libsmbios1 0.13.10-1ubuntu1.1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS information -- dynamic libra ii libsmbios2 2.0.3-0ubuntu1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS information -- dynamic libra ii samba 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix ii samba-common 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 Samba common files used by both the server and the clie ii smbclient 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 a LanManager-like simple client for Unix ii smbfs 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3 mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= ii system-config-samba 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 GUI for managing samba shares and users ii kdesudo 3.3.1-0ubuntu1 sudo frontend for KDE4 rc kdesudo-kde4 3.0-0ubuntu1 sudo frontend for KDE4 -- cannot configure Samba with KDE Control Module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276715 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
