smbd in samba 3.0.7-1ubuntu6.3 won't start

[Anund Rannestad]

After upgrading to samba 3.0.7-1ubuntu6.3 (from samba 3.0.7-1ubuntu6), smbd
won't start. It hangs and generates the following:

The log files in /var/log/samba show that nmbd loads fine, but smbd generates this:

[2005/01/12 14:40:28, 0] smbd/server.c:main(760)
smbd version 3.0.7-Ubuntu started.

Hmm, that works fine for me, so I guess it is at least not broken for everybody.

Can you please attach your /etc/samba/smb.conf here?

[Anund Rannestad (anund)]

Created an attachment (id=1122)
My smb.conf

Yes, it is strange. I know other people, too, that have had no trouble with the
updated samba package. But for me it just doesn't work. smbd hangs. And my
smb.conf contains nothing special. In fact, when I upgraded samba, it was just
the plain original smb.conf.

Hmm, I just cannot reproduce this (I tried several times), so I'm afraid I need
your help.

Can you please stop samba with

  sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop

remove the log file with

  sudo /var/log/samba/log.smbd

(or move it away) and then start it in debugging mode with

  sudo smbd -F -d 10

? If it still crashes, can you please attach /var/log/samba/log.smbd here?
Please also cut&paste all output that smbd might make.

Thanks!

Also, can you please check whether 3.0.7-1ubuntu6.2 works? You can get this
version from

  http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/samba_3.0.7-1ubuntu6.2_i386.deb

Download it and install it with

  sudo dpkg -i samba_3.0.7-1ubuntu6.2_i386.deb

Thanks in advance for your help!

Can you please try this and also the steps I mentioned in reply #3?

Also, can you still reproduce the bug at all? I can't and I did not hear any
other report about this, so I really don't know what do do with this bug.

I'm lost with this. Without additional info, reproducing, or additional reports
I cannot do anything about this, so I'm closing this bug for now.

Please reopen it if you have any news about this.

Thanks!

Hi Joshua,

Thank you very much for your help. After step 4, i also had to run rm
-rf ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/*, and now ubuntu one starts just fine.
