Happy New Year Andreas. Please excuse my ignorance for triggering a bug report when the error was caused by me.
I made the a) and b) changes instructed by you, and file sharing between ubuntu and windows worked. I then search "ubuntu samba rlimit_max) on the internet and clicked ( https://serverfault.com/questions/509560/resolving-samba-testparm-message-rlimit-max-rlimit-max-8192-below-minimum-wi ). I changed the rlimit_max in /etc/security/limits.conf by adding these two lines: samba soft nofile 16384 samba har nofile 32768 I sudo service samba restart However, windows does not automatically redetect ubuntu samba. I had to logoff and logon to show sharing. Not a problem. Andreas, thank you very much for your help.
