The last couple of updates on my Ubuntu 12.04 system have failed. I get 
a pop up window titled "update-manager" that says:

--------------------------------------------------
Package operation failed

The installation or removal of a software package failed.

Details
--------------------------------------------------

Expanding the Details I see a very long list of stuff in the window.

It starts with:

--------------------------------------------------
installArchives() failed:

--------------------------------------------------

There are a number of "Unknown parameter encountered:" (name of 
parameter) entries followed by "Ignoring unknown parameter" (name of 
parameter).

--------------------------------------------------

Ignoring unknown parameter "guest ok"
ERROR: Invalid smb.conf

dpkg: error processing samba4 (--configure):
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit 
status 126

--------------------------------------------------

I can see that it's likely something wrong in smb.conf, and I'll have to 
run testparm and try to figure out what's going on. But, I'd like to be 
able to read this detail of the error outside of the error message box 
after I've closed it. Which log should I be looking for?

Thanks.
