NoOp,

Exactly the same here, but still everything (but Bluetooth) shaded
when trying to enable Personal File Sharing. Reinstalled
gnome-user-share, log-out and in, to no avail. There's something
missing on my brand new 10.04.1 AMD64 install. So says the message:
"This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not
installed on your system", but then, what exactly is missing if not
Apache? (A reboot like Rikona suggested?)
