What does this nautlus error message mean, please?

[cousinlucky]

I had to use nautilus to trash a file from my desktop and I got this error message:

cousinlucky@cousinlucky-desktop:~$ gksudo nautilus
Initializing nautilus-share extension

** (nautilus:19832): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNautilus-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 No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

Is it something I should be worried about?

It looks like a samba error to me, or a shared network driver.......you can probably safely ignore this if you do not have a MS computer that you share files with Linux, on the other hand if you do not use samba, it might be a good idea to find out why this is happening and or disable it.

What and where is samba and how do I disable it?

[jayd512]

I don't have Ubuntu loaded, but you should be able to look at all running services somewhere in your Administration menu.

I would disable it... It allows file-sharing between computers.

OR, in a terminal window

sudo update-rc.d samba remove

This should work, if not then let us know.

Thanks MikeTbob,

cousinlucky@cousinlucky-desktop:~$ sudo update-rc.d samba remove

I guess I have a real bad case of Microsoft vulnerability trauma that I will never quite get over.
