1) In dmesg is there a way to limit the output to a device, in this case
sda1?  This machine runs of an external hard drive.
2) Permissions in nautical show owner as "Me" with Create and Delete,
Gary14  with no permission to read write.  Gary14 is listed as a user but
there is no way to change any properties of this user.  Gary14 is the user
name on this computer.

3) User on 12.04 is garyedu (this is not an edubuntu system, it is
xubuntu).  You can modify user privileges in 12.04.  Did this ability
change in 14.04?

4) I do not know how to obatin the UID/GID of the systems



5) card formatted Fat32  I reformatted it earlier to see if that would help.

I think that is everything asked for that I can supply
