Shawn, the permission was the problem. I had problems we the cpu being
hogged. I never could stop it running greater than 50% all of the
time. So I transferred the directory to my little server and reinstall
Ubuntu. Of course I used a different name so therefore the lack of
permission. I assume I can go to the terminal and type sudo nautilus
and change the permission. Or be brave and try to do it from a command
line. I don't feel brave today.
