[Bug 1478289] Re: samba fails to start at boot after 15.04 upgrade

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

On my test on Vivid, /lib/systemd/system/samba.service exists, is a
symlink to /dev/null, and causes "sudo systemctl start samba" to output
"Failed to start samba.service: Unit samba.service is masked.". Instead,
/etc/init.d/{smbd,nmbd} work directly, and "sudo systemdctl {start|stop}
{smbd|nmbd}" both appear to work correctly. On reboot, smbd and nmbd are
both started correctly.

So it seems that I cannot reproduce, though I haven't tried an upgrade
for Utopic. Do you have a previous customised version of
/etc/init.d/samba that you have not updated for Vivid?

Please provide steps to reproduce, and once done, change the bug status
back to New. Thanks!

Title:
  samba fails to start at boot after 15.04 upgrade

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 15.04 from 14.10, Samba no longer starts at boot. I
  suspect it's related to the switch to systemd, as attempting to set it
  to start using the systemd tools results in a bunch of error messages:

  root at c1:~# systemctl enable samba
  Synchronizing state for samba.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
  Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d samba defaults
  initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
  The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
  job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs.
  Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d samba enable
  update-rc.d: error: samba Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.
