This has just cropped up on my PC too (Xubuntu 9.10), after installing lirc, hangs on bootup just before the login screen (slim). (smb.conf is vanilla). Wouldn't work in recovery mode, told me about the nmbd pid but wouldn't let me do anything about it so CTRL-ALT-DEL was necessary.
Samba version 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 Found that by removing quiet and splash from the grub boot entry I could boot up OK again, and nmbd and smbd showing in htop. -- nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- 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
