Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I believe what's happening is similar, if not identical, to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1635491 which we thought was resolved. I also filed an upstream bug with samba about it because it looks like some cases are not yet sorted out.

Please tell me, this machine where it happened, is this a laptop? Do you only have network access after you login, via wireless for example? Or is the network enabled before, like via an ethernet cable?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have this issue on a desktop. It has both wifi and ethernet. It is always wired. Sometimes also wireless, problem happens no matter what.

Does your smb.conf (could you please attach it?) name a specific network or network interface?
