Ctrl + Alt + X to exit. Gives you the option to save.

Try ‘sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf’ if you want to edit in the normal text editor outside the terminal.

Restart the samba service by typing ‘sudo restart smbd && sudo restart nmbd’ if the example in the article does not work.

To save after you have edited a file you want to hit esc then type :wq to save and quit or just :q to save changes, you want to type with the colon.

Ronnie open up a terminal and type ‘sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf’ and locate the Workgroup parameter. Change this to your specific workgroup name and then save. Restart the system.

Hello Chris, my name is Ronnie. I have a question to ask about the following web document over “How to set up a print server on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS using Samba”. My simple question for you is, how do you save the changed data in the terminal for changing the name from work group. I changed it, but I am unware of how to save in the terminal for saving the changes. There was not a in depth or picture of how to do this. Thanks for the response back. I do apperciate the help.
Sincerly
Ronnie
