I tried to manually start nmbd and I got the following: carlos@kropotkin:samba$ sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd start [sudo] password for carlos: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service nmbd start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start nmbd start: Job failed to start carlos@kropotkin:samba$ service nmbd start start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.53" (uid=1000 pid=5836 comm="start nmbd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")) carlos@kropotkin:samba$ start nmbd start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.54" (uid=1000 pid=5849 comm="start nmbd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")) Does it help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791944 Title: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/791944/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
