Many thanks for your report.

Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked.

Very strange, we do not mask any service, hence this must come from the package itself or another package. I'll try to replicate.

EDIT

Okay during APT install I see the package install script masking the AD DC service for reason. But the install goes through well, even explains that related errors should be ignored:

Setting up samba (2:4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2) ...
Adding group `sambashare' (GID 109) ...
Done.
Samba is not being run as an AD Domain Controller, masking samba-ad-dc-service.
Please ignore the following error about deb-systemd-helper not finding samba-ad-dc-service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nmbd.service → /lib/systemd/system/nmbd.service.
Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked.
/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory

[  OK  ] DietPi-Software | G_AGI samba

On reinstall (or package upgrade) this exact error as you face it shows up as well, but APT finishes without error code:

Setting up samba (2:4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2) ...
Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked.
/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-11+deb9u4) ...
root@VM-Stretch:~# echo $?
0

As you can see, the package version matches.

So samba-ad-dc-service is not the issue, but smbd.service fails for another reason. Please paste:

journalctl -u smbd

@ernero93
Binary logs seem to be done to a file. Please check /var/log/samba (or smbd or similar) for error logs, which should give more details.

ernero93 · 2019-12-07T20:54:31Z

Unfortunately these two files are empty (size 0)

"/var/log/samba/log.nmbd"
"/var/log/samba/log.smbd"

BTY I noticed another issue. Kodi doesn't start if libGLESv2.so is not installed.

After running these commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libgles2-mesa libsdl2-dev

kodi starts

MichaIng · 2019-12-08T21:43:18Z

@ernero93

"/var/log/samba/log.nmbd"
"/var/log/samba/log.smbd"

When restarting the service the files should fill. DietPi-RAMlog clears it every hour.

BTY I noticed another issue. Kodi doesn't start if libGLESv2.so is not installed.

After running these commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libgles2-mesa libsdl2-dev

Hmm strange, libgles2-mesa should be installed automatically with Xserver (and Kodi), libsdl2-dev should definitely not be required, libsdl2-2.0-0 in case only, but also not from what I know and on my tests. However I'll have a deeper look into this for Odroid N2.

MichaIng · 2019-12-09T12:13:58Z

Okay, when installing Kodi via dietpi-software, mesa-utils-extra is installed through Xserver which pulls libgles2-mesa as dependency. The installed kodi-odroid package should pull libSDL2, if required, it is even shipped by Meverics repo and e.g. pulled when installing tvheadend.

But what I found now is an Odroid N2 special version for Kodi, provided by Meveric: kodi-n2-fbdev-odroid
This makes sense since the other Kodi uses X11 while Odroid N2 does not support X11, hence uses fbdev directly. I'll check setup-odroid utility about how this is applied there.

MichaIng · 2019-12-09T14:08:10Z

@ernero93
Okay on Odroid N2 the following should work and provide full GPU support:

G_AGP kodi kodi-odroid # Purge previous Kodi versions
apt install aml-libs-odroid malig52-fbdev-opencl-odroid libnfs8 kodi-n2-fbdev-odroid
echo 'media_clock
firmware
decoder_common
stream_input
amvdec_avs
amvdec_h264
amvdec_h264_4k2k
amvdec_mh264
amvdec_h264mvc
amvdec_h265
amvdec_mjpeg
amvdec_mmjpeg
amvdec_mpeg12
amvdec_mpeg4
amvdec_mmpeg4
amvdec_real
amvdec_vc1
amvdec_vp9' > /etc/modules-load.d/dietpi-n2-kodi.conf

Okay sorry, this did not cover your initial issue. Did you manage to create some fresh binary logs when restarting Samba?

ernero93 · 2019-12-10T21:11:29Z

Hello,
The case about samba can be closed. After several tests from a fresh install, I never have any more issue with samba, the service starts as expected once installed.

MichaIng · 2019-12-10T22:15:53Z

@ernero93
Okay great, if you find time to test the above for fully accelerated Kodi, I could add it to our code.

ernero93 · 2019-12-11T20:52:47Z

I tested the command :
apt install aml-libs-odroid malig52-fbdev-opencl-odroid libnfs8 kodi-n2-fbdev-odroid
on a fresh beta version. It ran without any problem, and then, I put kodi in autostart mode, but it didn't start automatically; I got the following message
/DietPi/dietpi/misc/start_kodi: line 49: xinit: command not found.
Let me know !
Regards

MichaIng · 2019-12-12T10:19:28Z

@ernero93
Ah yeah, that needs to be adjusted as well since this Kodi does not run on X11. Could you please try the following from console and if your have from desktop terminal emulator as well:

kodi --standalone

If this works fine, open /DietPi/dietpi/misc/start_kodi and replace

if (( $G_HW_MODEL < 10 )); then

with

if (( $G_HW_MODEL < 10 || $G_HW_MODEL == 15 )); then

which leads to Kodi autostart option doing just the same.

ernero93 · 2019-12-12T19:42:37Z

After modifiying start_kodi as indicated , kodi starts automatically as expected.
Regards.

@ernero93
Great, many thanks for testing. I'll implement it then as above for v6.27.
