Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The logs show this error:
invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.

dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure):
 installed samba package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Unfortunately that only confirms that the service failed to start, but
doesn't say why. It's quite likely the cause is a configuration error in
your /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

Please attach /etc/samba/smb.conf to this bug, or at least run the
testparm utility. It will check the file for simple syntax errors.

If that is not enough to highlight the error, then please attach the
samba logs from /var/log/samba/log* to this bug.

Thanks
