Nautilus on Ubuntu 10.04

[Langjan]

How do I activate Nautilus on Ubuntu 10.04? I have received the following message via the terminal:

jan@jan-desktop:~$ sudo nautilus
[sudo] password for jan:
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
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 No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

It would appear that is needs samba would be my guess. Try installing that and rerunning.

I have installed samba, samba-common, samba-common-bin, libwbclient0, python-smbc, smbcclient, nautilus-share, libsmbclient, gnome-system-tools, no success. What else do I need?

you don't need to use sudo before nautlilus, it will open file manager in your username

if you need a nautilus open with root privilege, you should use gksudo instead of sudo

Nautilus command brings up a window with folders, including an empty Nautilus folder.
gksudo nautilus command brings up the desktop icon, but nautilus is not on desktop neither is there a short cut for nautilus.
Application menu shows that nautilus is loaded on the system, but I cannot understand why I am unable to get access to it.
