I experienced this (nmbd do not startup at boot), recently after upgrading from ubuntu 9.10 server to 10.04 LTS.
The solution suggested in the Post#7 by Mr Abhishek Mukherjee worked. (Just adding the line "mkdir /var/run/samba" at just after the "pre-start script" line of /etc/init/nmbd.conf) Regards. -- nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
