[EN] [SOLVED] nmbd fails via systemd on boot, samba not working

[bmorency]

Hi,

I am using samba to connect to my computer using a  media player and every time I try to connect to a share it will not work unless I manually restart the samba service.

I did a bit a searching on this issue and I found this.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1183853

This is exactly what is happening to me.  In that link it mentions the person filled a bug report about it because he had to manually change a file provided by the package maintaner.

Here is what is in my log file.

Does a bug report need to be reported on this or is there somethng wrong just on my system and I will need to edit the same files mentioned in that link?

I am using amd64. If any one needs more info let me know.

Thank you.

I have solved this issue. To fix it I went into the samba config file and I made the interfaces line a comment. After I did that I rebooted and samba was working fine.
