[Bug 1776576] Re: Ubuntu 18.04 uograde: samba fails to run

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for getting back to us.

I suspect at some point you thought that the right service to start was
samba-ad-dc, and you configured it like that, and forgot it. I also find
this confusing and hope someday we can have the "switch" between
services be automatic, depending on whether you want an AD server or
not.

Regarding your smb1 issues, it's not that samba won't negotiate using
smb2 or 3. It will. The problem is the network browsing, which relies on
smb1. Without smb1, you won't see the other windows/smb machines in the
network. But if you try to access them directly via their ips or
hostnames, the connection will work and smb2 or smb3 will be spoken just
fine. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1767454
for some details.

I'll leave this bug open as "incomplete". If it happens again, or if you
gather more details, then feel free to post them here. Otherwise, the
bug will auto-close in about 60 days.

Thanks!
