Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. The logs confirm that samba failed to start, but not why. There is also no config file attached to this report, so we can't say if it's a syntax error there.
Please attach the log files from /var/log/samba/log* and the configuration file from /etc/samba/smb.conf. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790365 Title: Attempted to re-install Samba using synaptic getting error package samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: installed samba package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1790365/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
