@James, This is a default install with no configuration. After reboot I can login and start smbd by hand manually with no problems (ie, without changing /etc/samba/smb.conf). These were the interesting lines in /var/log/samba/log.smbd:

This looks to me to be some sort of missing networking item in the upstart job (smbd.conf only has 'start on local-filesystems'), but I am not an upstart expert.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771305 Title: smbd does not start on first boot with 20110426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
