[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

Unfortunately the logs do not say why the service failed to start:
invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.
● smbd.service - LSB: start Samba SMB/CIFS daemon (smbd)
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/smbd; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-10-24 09:18:45 CDT; 5ms ago

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

Could you please attach the log files from /var/log/samba/log* and your
config file /etc/samba/smb.conf?

Thanks
