I really appreciate your willingness to work with me on this issue, Andreas! On second look, it appears that only sometimes does something else start a new daemon:
Jul 31 15:40:35 Spectre systemd[1]: Starting Samba NMB Daemon... Jul 31 15:40:35 Spectre systemd[1]: nmbd.service: Supervising process 20023 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits. Jul 31 15:40:35 Spectre systemd[1]: Started Samba NMB Daemon. And sometimes it's able to re-use the existing one: Jul 31 15:40:15 Spectre systemd[1]: Starting Samba NMB Daemon... Jul 31 15:40:15 Spectre systemd[1]: Started Samba NMB Daemon. Regardless, I only see the 10-second delay on boot. Maybe it's waiting for that other process to start the daemon? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706990 Title: With samba installed on Kubuntu 17.04, nmbd.service causes a 10 second boot time regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1706990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
