Comment 43 for bug 212098

@saepia: I absolutely agree that Ubuntu should not force you to reboot. That is ideal and hopefully attainable. However, the current situation is beyond unacceptable. The way it currently works is sloppy. A user selects to enable sharing and is given an error that is inaccurate and frustrating for the end user. A simple message telling the user they need to reboot, like one gets on a kernel update, would be world better than the current way things are done. This short-term fix should also be much easier to implement until the optimal long-term fix is in place.

@jessie Lawrence: Giving the wrong error for a problem is what is unacceptable. Accurately informing the user they need to reboot is exactly what needs to done until the back-end work can be hammered out so no reboot is necessary.
