[Bug 254151] Re: samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf
Hmm fixed it for me, I ran: apt-get remove --purge samba-common (Someone in a forum said to do it and it worked! :oD) -- samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 254151] Re: samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf
The smb.conf file is owned by the samba-common package, not by the samba package (which is only the server components). To force regeneration of the smb.conf file, you need to use apt-get remove --purge samba-common. Closing as invalid, the reasons for not regenerating the config file whenever it's missing or empty are rooted in the Debian and Ubuntu policy on config files, and this can't be changed without causing more problems than it solves. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

@Dustin: I tried the command you suggest after a few failed attempts to install and un-install samba properly but that did not do the trick either. -- samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Re: [Bug 254151] Re: samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf
Did you uninstall with: # apt-get remove --purge samba The "purge" option will remove the configuration files properly (deleting the references in apt's internal database). :-Dustin -- samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254151 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[description]
For some reason my shares were no longer marked as shared in nautilus.
I decided to "wipe out" samba and do a fresh install. I did the following:
1. sudo apt-get remove samba
2. sudo rm -rf /etc/samba/{all files in there}
3. sudo apt-get install samba. During installation I got an error reagarding
dependencies
between samba and samba-common and the installation would fail.
I managed to cmplete the installation by doing this:
sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf
Although samba installed my smb.conf was empty and I still haven't been
able to share again.
[what I would like it to do]
I think that smb.conf should be created with its default contents each
time a user installs samba AND smb.conf is missing for whatever reason.
Otherwise it should use an existing smb.conf.
