Thanks for submitting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

It looks as though nmbd failed to start, but there's not much info beyond that. In order to help us figure out what happened, could you please do

  grep samba /var/log/daemon.log > /tmp/output
  grep samba /var/log/syslog >> /tmp/output
  grep nbd /var/log/syslog >> /tmp/output
  grep nbd /var/log/daemon.log >> /tmp/output
  ps -ef | grep nbd >> /tmp/output

and post /tmp/output here as an attachment?

I was having this issue as well.

What I tried was I disabled my WINS Server in my smb.conf "wins support = no" and reinstalled Samba. It installed successfully. Rebooted my PC and it was working again.

I didn't need WINS anymore and was meaning to disable it anyways, but if you need WINS Server enabled, try what I did and enable it after.

Thank you. Will try and give feedback.
