Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. You have a syntax error in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Look at the very end:
[Home Share } comment = /home/dave/ writable = yes valid users = dave You probably meant for it to be: [Home Share] comment = /home/dave/ writable = yes valid users = dave Since this is a local configuration error, I'm marking this bug as invalid. If you have reason to believe otherwise, please reopen it adding the new information. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704706 Title: Installation and removal repeatedly fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1704706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
