I right click a directory (shared) and then select shared. It installs the windows software then I get this error.

'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.

What am I doing wrong? This worked on 7.10.

I'm suspecting it's Policy kit, i can't add shares nor users...
