HI Steve, many thanks for your help. I put wins support to FALSE, and I was able to install samba without any other error and pop up windows.
Thanks to you and Ursula to solve this issue. I have still some trouble to share an USB printer attached to a Windows PC, but this is another story and I am confident to solve this quite fastly. I will search a good samba manual for this over the Internet. Have I to do something in launchpad on my bugs?

This output indicates that you have a broken smb.conf: > ERROR: both 'wins support = true' and 'wins server = <server list>' cannot > be set in the smb.conf file. nmbd will abort with this setting. So, you need to remove one or the other of those settings (according to what way you intend the machine to be configured!) and then it will start. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820023 Title: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 subprocess installed post- installation script returned error exit status 1 Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I could not connect to a Windows printer shared.
