A site for solving at least some of your technical problems...
As I upgrade to 14.04, I started seeing this error in my console:
no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
Quite cryptic if you ask me, but the "leaking memory" did sound bad.
The error would in particular appear when I used sudo for whatever reason, for example:
sudo iptables -L -nvx
So... something to do with sudo?
I found the answer on the Ubuntu forum. The solution is to turn off a feature of samba. Run the samba setup tool in your console:
sudo pam-auth-update
That opens a curses window in your console. You should then see an option named:
SMB password synchronization
Make sure it is NOT selected.
Try a sudo command again, to just test you could do:
sudo whoami
The error should now be gone.
Obviously, this "fix" is just a workaround, hopefully the programmers will come up with a real fix to this problem.
