I had similar problems to on Ubuntu 11.10. I believe it was caused when I made an incomplete trial to switch from Samba to Samba4.
Following worked for me: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure samba-common $ sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf $ sudo dpkg --configure -a Hope it is helpful. -- 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/288496 Title: winbind postinst returned error exit status 1 (daemon failed to start) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/288496/+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
