Thanks to bkrzem that posted a solution on a duplicate of this bug (#582376)
Well, actually I've been struggling with this issue for a week! But in my case the problem seems to be that nmbd is called to be started up BEFORE the net device is actually on... so the solution in my case was to change start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) to start on (local-filesystems) in /etc/init/nmbd.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572410 Title: [SRU] nmbd doesn't start because of missing testparm -- 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
