Thanks for these. You have a small, but important, typo in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
$ testparm ./smb.conf Load smb config files from ./smb.conf rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384) Unknown parameter encountered: "encrypted passwords" Ignoring unknown parameter "encrypted passwords" WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'users' for parameter 'security' Error loading services. Specifically: security = users Valid values for the "security" parameter are "auto", "user", "domain", and "ads". I believe you were trying to set it to "user" instead of "users". The testparm(1) utility is also highlighting another parameter that is incorrectly named in your file: "encrypted passwords". The closest correct one is "encrypt passwords" and the default value is "true". That is not preventing the service from starting, though. I believe all you need to do is fix the "users" typo as explained above and then: sudo apt update sudo apt -f install And maybe even reinstall samba: sudo apt install --reinstall samba -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722831 Title: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.11 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/1722831/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
