Bug Description
Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011
Work around needed because this keeps any one with windows machines from accessing them from an Ubuntu machine.
The package seems to be the “nautilus-share” source package which downloads and installs samba.
However, two of the packages are not located in the samba site and a 404 error is received. Executing this package results in the network connection [drivers?] being rendered unusable and the network connection disconnected,
When I try to share a file folder and use Ubuntu's install File sharing utility
i receive the install fail message and this detail:
Details: Text ended before matching quote was found for ". (The text was '$ gpg
--import samba-pubkey.asc
$ gunzip samba-version.
$ gpg --verify samba-release.

Using the Ubuntu software center gave me this detail following failure.
Failed to fetch

404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
I tried to use the download site but the launcher I created by pasting in the
text from
http://
returns the following error.
Details: Text ended before matching quote was found for ". (The text was '$ gpg
--import samba-pubkey.asc
$ gunzip samba-3.6.0.tar.gz.

When I insert the missing ["] after the word "Key" so the line reads:
gpg: Good signature from "Samba Distribution Verification Key" \
‹<email address hidden>›
I get the error:
Details: Failed to execute child process "$" (No such file or directory)
At this point I cannot identify which process "$" is not being found, other than it is one of the failed fetches.
When I tried to report this I discovered after a reboot that the networking drivers had been trashed.
After searching it would return “you are not connected”
I had to reboot from the dvd and re-run install. I then selected repair. And after another boot was able to get on line to report the problem.

Default seemed to be Ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) First time, Sorry for missing that one.
If "Nautilus-share" is reached by both
Places > Open-"drive or folder" > Edit > Sharing options > Share Folder > Create Share
and
Applications > Ubuntu Software Center > Provided by Ubuntu > Samba > Install
Then it alone is the problem. However since the number of files not found seems to vary, can another package be involved or at least the call be different?
I lost the error message from one of the install failures. I distinctly remember two 404 errors with one of them and one 404 error with the other.
