Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. Unfortunately the attached logs do not contain enough information to determine what caused the smbd service to fail:
Job for smbd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status smbd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.
