It has been a while since I set up Samba, but I think you have to type smbd
and nmbd at the command line to start Samba. You may have to use /sbin/smbd
and /sbin/nmbd if it is not in your path. If you have not added it to your
init scripts to start automatically, you will have to do it each time you
boot the machine.

I don't know what that error is, I have never seen it. You might try it on
google.com to see if it gives you any answers

With many terminals you just highlight the text with your left mouse button,
then go to an editor and click with the third button if you have one, or with
both the left and right buttons simultaneously. that should paste the text
into an editor.
