This bug is still present in 14.04 LTS. Putting the following line in /etc/init/smbd.override solves it for me:
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) (Putting this line in /etc/init/smbd.conf also works of course.) Why can't this line be included in the standard smbd.conf that ships with Ubuntu? The only downside I can see is that on computers which only have a loopback interface, Samba will not start. But why would someone want to use Samba in such a configuration? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996968 Title: Samba needs to be stopped and restarted in order to work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/996968/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
