net usershare add error

SUMMARY
creating a new share errors that smbd isnt running and requires the user to manually enable it.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open dolphin, right click on properties on directory in home(default "Music" dir in my case, go to share tab.
2. enable the share checkbox and click ok

OBSERVED RESULT
you get a "net usershare add" error as shown in the attachment.

EXPECTED RESULT
somewhere in the flow it should enable smbd or anything necessary to get the share going.

Yeah, we verify that Samba is installed, but not that a Samba server is actually running. We should do so.
