You have an invalid setting for the "security" parameter in smb.conf:

# testparm ./smb.conf 
Load smb config files from ./smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'share' for parameter 'security'
Error loading services.

Valid values for the "security" parameter are auto, user, domain or ads.

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

  security from 'user' to 'share', now i could access some of the
  shares, but after a short while it stopped working completely. could
  reopen the program again. uninstalled program, installed again. failed
