I'm using a wireless connection with wicd (wlan interface is wlan0). Adding mkdir -p /var/run/samba does not solve the problem. Changing start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) to start on (local-filesystems) in /etc/init/nmbd.conf fixes it and nmbd starts. But this is not the right way to fix it, because there are other services which depends on "net-device-up".
I think it's wicd not emitting "net-device-up" when my wlan0 comes up. But... how can I check/confirm it ? -- 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 -- 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
