Some more testing revealed that if I comment out user's cron @reboot job that starts two virtualbox machines, nmbd starts. So I guess upstart fails to continue starting daemons if there is a high system load at boot time.
This makes me very sad. User job can affect server's start up... I have these virtual machines since 2009 but only few days ago it started to happen, so I blame latest kernel update. -- 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/596064 Title: nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/596064/+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
