[SOLVED] Cannot start Samba after update

[Asmox]

Hello!

I have a problem with Samba. Since update it doesn't start and I don't know why. I tried reinstalling it and every time it goes the same. Let's start with this message:

Code: Select all

$ systemctl status smbd.service
● smbd.service - LSB: start Samba SMB/CIFS daemon (smbd)
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/smbd)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2016-09-25 14:30:31 UTC; 8s ago
  Process: 16171 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/smbd start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

My journalctl says:

$ sudo journalctl -xn

Okay, I looked in the Internet for solutions. I found somewhere that I should:

• remove all the comments (which starts with # or ;)
• remove entry "security = share"

I tried both, and also to reinstall Samba. The problem is, there are several more errors when I try to fix it.

1. Trying sudo apt-get purge samba doesn't erase my configuration
I don't understand it. After uninstall I still see all my configuration in /etc/samba

2. I get "Error: Timeout was reached" at every action in apt-get

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fusiondirectory-plugin-samba : Conflicts: gosa-plugin-samba but 2.7.4+reloaded2-1+deb8u2 is to be installed
 gosa-plugin-samba : Depends: gosa (= 2.7.4+reloaded2-1+deb8u2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

But I didn't change the repositories, though. I also tried using the same command with aptitude, but it seems as it doesn't recognize asterisks.

Generally speaking, I don't know where is the problem. Samba? Repositiories? My Internet connection?
So I kindly ask you for help.

What's in your logs in /var/log/samba?

You appear to have a syntax error / invalid parm "display charset" in your config file.

[Asmox]

I changed my config file, I mean I deleted lines about charset, but nothing changed.
/etc/samba/smb.conf

/var/log/samba/log.smbd didn't change at all. The same with /var/log/samba/log.nmbd.

[Asmox]

Okay I've found the solution. The key was the fact that I still had my configuration kept in /etc/samba, even though I deleted it with

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge samba

I did the instruction at http://askubuntu.com/questions/820108/c ... -etc-samba:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge samba samba-*
$ sudo apt-get autoremove

And then I installed samba again. Now I rewrote my configuration and everything is ok.

The topic is to be closed.
