Error systemctl start smbd.service

Question

During executing systemctl start smbd.service i received message

“Failed to start smbd.service: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files”

apt-get install policykit-1

during installation i see

“/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d returned 101, not running ‘restart polkitd.service’”

Do you have some ideas how avoid of fix it?

Are you by any chance trying to run these commands with another user and not root? If yes, you’ll need to use sudo.

Additionally, try to re-install policykit-1, it seems like it might have some leftover files which are making these errors.
