Xubuntu bugs, Samba, sharing services not installed
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Trying to share between 2 xubuntu machines on the same network:
sudo apt install samba from here, sudo apt install system-config-samba from here.
shares-admin from here didn't work initially - "Sharing services are not installed". Tried
sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server from here, now means I can open shares-admin, unlock it, try to add folders, and it crashes with
Segmentation fault
Opening Samba from the menu gives:
Failed to execute gksu system-config-samba. Failed to execute child
process "gksu"
sudo apt install gksu
Package gksu is not available
Can't edit the shortcut in the menu because although the icon appears and is clickable, the entry isn't present in menu editor.
sudo system-config-samba
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/system-config-samba", line 45, in module
mainWindow.MainWindow(debug_flag)
File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/mainWindow.py", line 121, in init
self.basic_preferences_win = basicPreferencesWin.BasicPreferencesWin(self, self.xml, self.samba_data, self.samba_backend, self.main_window)
File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/basicPreferencesWin.py", line 97, in
init
self.admin = libuser.admin()
SystemError: could not open configuration file `/etc/libuser.conf': No such file or directory
sudo apt install thunar-shares-plugin
Unable to locate package
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found
This folder isn't present.
Does anyone have any tips for how to setup sharing on Xubuntu 18.10 & 18.04? This seems like it should be really simple and has immediately become nightmarish. Thanks.

Pretty much all of your links are outdated.
[1] If you really want to use system-config-samba:
sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf
Then:
sudo -H system-config-samba
[2] If you need to restart any samba services it's:
sudo service smbd restart
[3] Do not use shares-admin
[4] All the ... um ... stuff you read about changing workgroup names, local master, preferred master, etc.. is irrelevant when using samba in an all Linux network since it's not using NetBIOS. It uses mDNS ( Avahi ) and samba will automatically register itself to the rest of the network using it.

useful intel, thanks. Before I try the above, your tone (already hard to be sure in text) suggests system-samba-config - and possible others - are outdated. Is there a better way of doing things than the method you've advised above? NFS? help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-file-system.html.en

ran into another minefield of issues, requires users & password setups that still don't work, able to access but not write despite setting the permissions accordingly. Now trying linuxuprising.com/2018/11/… Amazed how problematic this is.

I haven't used NFS since the Berlin Wall came down so I can't help you with that. Share access and R/W ability does not necessarily require credentials - it all depends on how you set up the share. If you edit your original post by adding the output of the following command I may be able to assist you with that: "testparm -s" As far and users and passwords remember that unlike Windows in Samba there are two passwords for every user: The local login password and the samba password. You set the samba password with this command: "sudo smbpasswd -a user-name"
