Ubuntu – Cannot run samba interface after installing 13.04

13.04samba

I cannot get the samba interface to run after installing 13.04. I installed samba through the software center on one machine, and through terminal sudo apt-get install samba system-config-samba cifs-utils on another with the same result.

The problem is the same with both machines – typing "samba" in dash gives no result. (Nothing shows up).

In order to be able to run Samba in Ubuntu 13.04, you have to install it. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below:

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common

To complete the installation from terminal, then click here for complete instruction.

I just got a machine up and running, installed Ubuntu 13.04 on it, and followed the instruction in the above link, and it worked. See below:

Once I clicked on the Samba icon it opened the window below
