Standard PC 3.5 inch FD in the xp 60 . Removing it and poking around and
refitting I can save to a PC formatted disk and load back a "song" and read
as HEX files on a pc so perhaps stuck stepper spindle or connector problem.

If it's standard it could be replaced with a PC drive, that's good.

Yes, of course geranium would be optimal, but I don't know what type.. a
UJT, I think.

Geranium is a flower.

In that circuit, a geranium transistor would work as well as any other. :)

Can someone recommend one. I'm trying to record temperture measurements over time.

which Amazon sells for ~$13 but you can use eBay search skills to find one
for for $7 shipped (from Hong Kong tho - need to wait ~2 weeks to get it
here in US) you'd be limited to -40C to +120C range tho

As far as working with Ubuntu (or other Linux flavors for that matter), it
shows up as a HID (Human Interface Device) and there is a Perl library
(Device::USB::PCSensor::HidTEMPer) you can use to poll it.
