how do you get file sharing to work on ubuntu!!?
this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system
i get this when trying to get the file sharing i always run into this, but i don't know what "packages" i need. i have a lot of movies on my computer and i used to share them with everyone in the house when i was running windows. i really love ubuntu but i can't get this to work and it kinda is pissing me off.

The files that you will have to install are:
* apache2.2-bin
Apache HTTP Server common binary files
The Apache Software Foundation’s goal is to build a secure, efficient and
extensible HTTP server as standards-compliant open source software. The
result has long been the number one web server on the Internet.
* libapache2-
Zeroconf support for Apache 2 via avahi
mod_dnssd is an Apache HTTPD module which adds Zeroconf support
via DNS-SD using Avahi. This allows Apache to advertise itself and the
websites available to clients compatible with the protocol.
Install both from the synaptic package manager, and reboot after you have installed. Once you have rebooted the computer, you will be able to enable the personal file sharing for Ubuntu 10.04
