This may not work but it is worth a try:
Run the command
sudo visudo
then add the lines:
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN_CMDS = /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot
Have a look at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
In your case I would set up the second account on the laptop (in this case your daughters) with sudo rights for apt-get, aptitude and...
Did you delete the partition or try and resize it?
If this does not work you have probably installed the restricted/closed source version on the driver in which case I would suggest trying
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
This should get you...
Try
startx
Also please can you post the exact message that you see, I believe the usage of start has changed in later Ubuntus
Are you using full screen mode
Who said it was made of metal :)
matt_symes is not in the sudos file, this indecent will be reported
In that case you are not using the latest version or it is using a different software repository, I would suggest asking on the ultimate edition forum about this.

It may be...
I was thinking a reformat maybe but I am not confident which drive is the correct one or if the data is important. It is certainly worth trying to detect it using the disk utility tool
Ok this is strange now, it looks like this drive is formatted for a Linux install. Did you try this on another machine?
Could you try this again:
sudo mkdir /media/sdg
sudo mount /dev/sdg1...
Interesting, what is the output of
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdg
Assuming you have not disconnected the drive
It appears that the drive is detected correctly, I do not understand why fdisk -l did not...
You going to share the popcorn? :)
It looks like it is being recognised, just not as a hard drive. After plugging the drive type
dmesg | tail
and post the output here, this should show us what the machine does when it detects the...
Right let clear things up. If your card reader is an external reader please disconnect it.
Disconnect the usb drive and run
lsusb
Now plug the hard drive in and type lsusb again

I'm afraid I am going to use that word again, can you post the output of mounting it manually
fdisk -l
Find drive location e.g. /dev/sdb
sudo mkdir /media/usbhere
sudo mount /dev/sdb1...
Surely the community should?
To create a new user:
adduser <username>
For the desktop environment try looking here:

In short...
You can use more or less
lsusb | more
and enter to scroll down
or
lsusb | less
For the manual
man less
