I'm not sure why you need the GUI to install Samba (sudo apt-get
install samba), but if you need the gui for some other reason, then
try:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Accept the defaults and then try starting X again. If you want all the
pieces of the GUI (essentially the set up you'd get with the desktop
version of Ubuntu), then install ubuntu-desktop:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

And if you're setting up a Samba file server, I doubt you'll entirely
avoid the need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf. Try the "by example" guide
on the Samba site:

http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/

Good luck!
