Title:
  Ubuntu 18.04 uograde: samba fails to run

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Samba has been running properly in all previous version of Xubuntu up
  through 17.10 with server role = standalone.

  After the 18.04 upgrade, all samba services fail to start as noted
  below.  numerous changes were made, including advice from the net to
  add "client max protocol = NT1" to smb.conf, all with no success.

  A last-ditch attempt to reinstall the samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-
  0ubuntu2 from synaptic fails with the pop-up error message:

  E: samba: installed samba package post-installation script subprocess
  returned error exit status 1

  The log output is attached.

  An attempt to start the samba service:

  # service  samba-ad-dc start
  Job for samba-ad-dc.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
  See "systemctl status samba-ad-dc.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

  # systemctl status samba-ad-dc.service
  ● samba-ad-dc.service
     Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)

   Main PID: 27780 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
     Status: "daemon failed to start: Samba detected misconfigured 'server role' and exited. Check logs for details"

  # A second (and subsequent) attempt to start samba:

  # service samba-ad-dc start
  Failed to start samba-ad-dc.service: Unit samba-ad-dc.service is masked.

  I tried a number of options to unmask and start the samba services
  with no success.

  Many people seem to be having great difficulty with samba now, but I
  located no clear instructions for addressing the problem which seems
  might be related to the active directory component.

  I would expect an upgrade to a properly configured system to continue
  to run.  I'm guessing that there is a fundamental configuration
  problem here, but possibly a deeper level bug.  I will also attach the
  smb.conf. file to this report.  Guidance is appreciated.
