When I tried to install samba it failed to install it several times. Then when I tried to install or remove other applications using "apt-get install" and "apt-get remove" it gave me the same error "Errors were encountered while processing: samba4" even if I'm trying to install/remove different programs. And if i try to install or remove from Ubuntu Software Center it fails too.

Any answer is fully appreciated!

Thanks!

Try

1. sudo apt-get autoremove
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get upgrade

If that doesn't work.. reboot and try the same commands.

Youre welcome! :)

Sometimes things just get hung up and you have to give them a little kick.
