You know, the funny part is that it is the Default Public files folder on the Home directory that I'm trying to share. I tryed it this read-write permissions and read only both. Same error message. I did reboot after installing samba. Can't think of other info that could be usefull to you. Contact me if there is

That's very strange. Could you paste the outputs of the following commands as
well, please?

ls -l /usr/bin/net /etc/alternatives/net
update-alternatives --display net

Thanks, that confirms something. Basically samba-common-bin's postinst isn't
firing properly during the upgrade or something. To fix, please reinstall
samba-common-bin.

  affects ubuntu/samba

If you can still reproduce the issue, could you please test the suggestion from Chow Loong Jin, namely reinstall samba-common-bin ?
