Public bug reported: Last evening I lost my launchpad with the menu after a reboot. After about 3 hours of trying to resolve the problem I decided to just reinstall Ubuntu. During install I chose the upgrade to 15.10. ?the install reported that it had problems with some packages and I would have to reinstall them. during the install I lost my smb.conf file so I redid it but when issuing command "/etc/init.d/samba stop" I received the error that "/etc/init.d/samba" was not found. I then issued "apt-get install samba and got the message: Errors were encountered while processing: samba E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) bruce@Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-cache policy pkgname N: Unable to locate package pkgname I then got the pop up with the bug reporting tool. sorry if this is incomplete, I am new to linux and trying to learn it.
