[Bug 1706512] Re: package samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

nmbd failed to start and gave this explanation:
   Status: "nmbd: No local IPv4 non-loopback interfaces available, waiting for interface ..."

You seem to have a local network configuration problem. Maybe your
"interfaces" setting in /etc/samba/smb.conf is incorrect?

Could you please share:
- the logs files from /var/log/samba/log*
- output of "sudo ip a"
- process listing: output of "ps fauxw"

And the status of these services by running this command:
sudo systemctl status nmbd.service smbd.service samba-ad-dc.service samba.service


Also, testparm(1) is highlighting that you seem to be using a lot of deprecated options in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file, maybe if you could clean those up we could narrow down what the real problem is:

$ testparm ./smb.conf 
Load smb config files from ./smb.conf
