Thanks. I'm not seeing anything *immediately* wrong, just that nmbd sometimes either can't find a network, or is getting errors trying to send packets to it. Like: Packet send failed to 192.168.0.255(138) ERRNO=Invalid argument ... send_netbios_packet: send_packet() to IP 192.168.0.255 port 137 failed ... reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Waiting..
How is the network brought up on this machine where you experience this problem? Is it wired, wireless, managed by network-manager or /etc/network/interfaces, etc? Regarding the non-child process, do you experience the same delay and message from systemd about non-child process if you restart nmbd after boot? Try something like this: $ sudo systemctl status nmbd.service (should print basically the same that you showed in your first comment) Then restart it, and get status again: $ sudo systemctl restart nmbd.service $ sudo systemctl status nmbd.service Thanks! -- 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/1706990 Title: With samba installed on Kubuntu 17.04, nmbd.service causes a 10 second boot time regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1706990/+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
