You tried to start samba as a normal user (the "$" sign in your command prompt tells me that). That's not how it works.
To stop the samba services, use: sudo systemctl stop smbd.service nmbd.service (it's two services in non-AD mode) To start the samba services, use: sudo systemctl start smbd.service nmbd.service If you get errors after the start command, do a status: sudo systemctl status smbd.service nmbd.service Them run testparm: sudo testparm If the services didn't start, and there are no errors reported by testparm, then please attach the /var/log/samba/log* files to this bug. -- 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/1704706 Title: Installation and removal repeatedly fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1704706/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
